Review on the Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Malaysian Clams by Md. Faruk Hossen, Sinin Hamdan, Md. Rezaur Rahman

“…It was observed that the concentrations of metals slightly depend on different clam species but mostly depend on site locations. According to Malaysian Food Regulation (1985), about 30% and more than 50% sites are safe from Cd and Pb contamination, respectively, and also the clam species from the other populations studied were safe for consumption.…”

Life History of an Endangered Marine Insect Halovelia septentrionalis Esaki (Hemiptera: Veliidae) by Terumi Ikawa, Aika Nakazawa

“…It is of primary importance to investigate its life history in the field so as to develop conservation measures as well as to understand how this species has adapted to marine environments. We studied its life history in Misaki on the southern part of the Miura Peninsular near Tokyo, ca. 35°N, probably the northernmost locality not only for H. septentrionalis but also for any Halovelia species, most of which are found in warm tropical or subtropical waters. …”

On the Dynamical Behavior of Toxic-Phytoplankton-Zooplankton Model with Delay by Mehbuba Rehim, Weixin Wu, Ahmadjan Muhammadhaji

“…Since the liberation of toxic substances by phytoplankton species is not an instantaneous process but is mediated by some time lag required for maturity of the species and the zooplankton mortality due to the toxic phytoplankton bloom occurs after some time laps of the bloom of toxic phytoplankton, we induced a discrete time delay to both of the consume response function and distribution of toxic substance term. …”
