ANSALDO. 1998   Letal and sublethal effects of pesticides (parathion and 2,4-D) and heavy metals (cadmium) have been evaluated during a decade in estuarine crabs, mainly in the species Chasmagnathus granulata (Decapoda, Brachyura, Grapsidae). Adult crabs showed to be more resistant than other crustacean species to the assayed pollutants, being able to accumulate them; therefore, crabs preyed by fish could be involved in biomagnifictaion processes…..
