Nonetheless, this has been enhanced by anthropogenic activities resulting in pollution. Consequently, relationships and partitioning of heavy metals in the dissolved phase, suspended particulate matter (SPM), sediments and shrimp (Macrobrachium felicinum) were investigated in five selected sites along Taylor creek, southern Nigeria. The degree of relationships between the various metals was dissimilar in each of the investigated matrices. In the matrices studied, not several significant relationships (P}, keywords = {Heavy metals,Macro brachium felicinum,Partitioning,Sediments,SPM,Taylor creek}, url = {https://ijer.ut.ac.ir/article_213.html}, eprint = {https://ijer.ut.ac.ir/article_213_30f125bfafd77e3a95866c852187bf0d.pdf} }
