Oysters mouth Papenkuils River Swartkops also found be contaminated with lesser extent. Great Fish unexpectedly elevated concentrations. Because there are no urban or industrial developments river, it likely these elements derived leaching mineralized sequences catchment, geochemical recommended ascertain source metals. (JMT)
