Hg levels in dolphins stranded in Apulia (Cardellicchio et al., 2000, 2002), on the Corsician coast (Frodello et al., 2000), on the Mediterranean coast of Israel (Roditi-Elasar et al., 2003), on Spanish and Italian Mediterranean coasts (Monaci et al., 1998) are lower than those found in our study and dolphins from the French Mediterranean, Ligurian Sea and Northern Tyrrhenian coasts (Leonzio et al., 1992; Augier et al., 1993; Capelli et al., 2000, 2008).
Sample text:```The lower abundance of fish at impacted reaches detected in our study agrees with the results of other authors, who in some cases found four times higher biomass at control reaches (Kube cka et al. 1997; Almod ovar & Nicola 1999).```
Sample intent: result
Sample text:```It is also in agreement with those of Stansley et al. (1997) who obtained high mortality in R. palustris tadpoles, exposed from the egg stage for 10 days to a total mean lead concentration of 1.670 and 0.944 mg Pb/l.```
