Exploring Microelement Fertilization and Visible-Near-Infrared Spectroscopy for Enhanced Productivity in and Aquaponic Systems.

This study explores the effects of varying exposure times of microelement fertilization on hydrochemical parameters, plant growth, and nutrient content in an aquaponic system cultivating L. (pepper) with ( L.).

Risk assessment of some heavy metals in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and veined rapa whelks (Rapana venosa) for human health.

The purpose of the present study was to analyze the concentrations of lead, cadmium and mercury in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and veined rapa whelks (Rapana venosa) caught in the Varna Bay of Black Sea and to evaluate the risk for human health from the presence of the three heavy metals. The highest average concentrations in mussels were those of cadmium (0.280 mg/kg), followed by lead (0.
