Such have profound effects on organisms the vicinity resulting inhibition growth, reduced fecundity, even death. This paper highlights importance pecieation when considering toxic cooper, with particular reference to macroalgae marine environment, encourage more biologists take account this their studies metal pollution. 104 refs., 2 figs., 4 tabs.
