摘要: Concentrations of total arsenic (As) and individual compounds were determined in green hawksbill turtles from Ishigaki Island, Japan. In both species, As concentrations highest muscle among the tissues. Arsenobetaine was a major compound most tissues turtles. High trimethylarsine oxide detected A significant negative correlation between standard carapace length (SCL), an indicator age, levels found. contrast, increased with SCL Shifts feeding habitats growth may account for such growth-dependent accumulation As. Although marine sponges, food are not high compared to those algae eaten by turtles, higher than indicating that have specific mechanism
