For Cd, the highest values were detected in the upper sublittoral species
from the rocky bottom of Bay Camarones. Accumulation
of Cd in algae ranged from 1500 to 6500 times
(dry basis) the concentration in seawater depending on
the algal species studied and on the collection site.
However, results obtained in this study did not provide
data to enable a comparison of pollution degree between
both sites.
