Differential copper stress responses in populations of the golden kelp Ecklonia radiata.

Abstract excerpt

Urbanised coastal systems have a legacy of contaminants in sediments from historical industrial activities, compounded by ongoing contaminant inputs from agricultural and urban run-off. Sessile organisms, such as the habitat-forming golden kelp E. radiata are particularly vulnerable in these environments as they cannot avoid exposure to these contaminants. To survive these stressors, they must rely on mechanisms...
