Gastropod assemblages as indicators of sediment metal contamination in mangroves of Dumai, Sumatra, Indonesia
Impacts of heavy metal concentrations in sediments on the gastropod community structure were assessed in the coastal waters of Dumai, Sumatra, Indonesia. The objective of this study was to relate the levels of heavy metal pollution with the changes of gastropod community structure in the study area....
