Effects of acetic acid on toxic metal content and proximate composition in the muscle of blood cockle (Anadara granosa)

Abstract

Blood cockle Anadara granosa is an important food source and one of the most commonly cultured species in the Mekong delta. But, cockle is a filter feeder, it can accumulate toxic metals from the water environment. This study aims conducted to evaluate the soaking effects of acetic acid in different concentrations at different times on the levels of Cd and Pb and proximate nutritional composition in the soft tissues...
