Metal pollution, due to various anthropogenic sources, may pose a threat to marine
ecosystems. Metals can be introduced into food chains via bioaccumulation in primary
producers, and may potentially lead to toxic effects. Macroalgae are used as food by a wide
variety of organisms, and are therefore extremely important in aquatic systems. This study
investigated the accumulation and effects of metals in two macroalgae species. The green
seaweed, Ulva lactuca and the red seaweed, Agardhiella subulata were each concurrently …
