Interactions of Atlantic salmon in the Pacific Northwest environment III. Accumulation of zinc and copper

The third paper of the potential issues of the presence of Atlantic salmon in the Pacific Northwest environment concerns the use of copper and zinc in net-pen fanning. In particular, it reviews the presence of heavy metals in the water and sediments near net-pen farms. The review ends with some conclusions on the varying degrees of risk from these metals.
