Distribution of heavy metal concentrations in the different soft tissues of the freshwater snail Pomacea insularum (DOrbigny, 1839; Gastropoda), and sediments collected from polluted and unpolluted sites from Malaysia.
Pomacea insularum were collected from polluted and unpolluted freshwater ecosystems in Malaysia. Besides the shells, the soft tissues were dissected and pooled into cephalic tentacle, foot, mantle, operculum, digestive tract, penial sac,lung sac, and remainder.
