Resumen:
This study investigated the concentrations and distributions of trace metals (Cd, Cu y Pb) in zooplankton and suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the Bahía Blanca estuary. Cu showed the highest concentrations in both zooplankton and SPM. Conversely, Cd presented the lowest ones. The levels of Cd in zooplankton could be considered within the normal values while Cu and Pb concentrations would correspond to a pollute estuary.
