Funded Activity Summary

Biomarkers of Heavy Metal Stress in Mangrove Ecosystems. Australia has the third largest area of mangroves internationally and these systems are highly productive as primary producers, habitat and nursery area for many juvenile commercial fish species. The consequences of local destruction of mangroves through human impacts are lower fish productivity and loss of water quality. The validation of predictive early warning biomarkers of heavy metal stress in mangroves would provide a powerful management tool that would enable evidence of pollutant exposure and accurate 'early-warning' indication of biological/environmental effects, allowing effective remedial action and protection of estuarine waters and resources both nationally and internationally.
