Use of macroalgae to biomonitor pollutants in coastal waters: Optimization of the methodology

摘要: Abstract Although native macroalgae have been used for biomonitoring purposes since the 1950s, a standardized protocol that would enable widespread implementation of technique has not yet developed. The aim this review study, in which 445 articles were consulted, was to evaluate monitoring methods applied coastal environments worldwide and assess degree standardization techniques used. Finally, on basis conclusions reached, we propose implementing method.
