Abstract:There are now increasing interests in the food chain transfer of metal contaminants in different marine food chains. The importance of metal dietary uptake in aquatic animals has been highlighted in many recent studies using both empirical experimental and modeling approaches. The application of bioenergetic-based kinetic model has played an important role in the delineation of the exposure of metal contaminants in the animals. This review summarizes the recent progress in this field, particularly on the m...
