Includes bibliographical references. This thesis deals with the applicability of Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) techniques for ascertaining the extent of water pollution by analyzing scales of fish that live in polluted waters. As a fish grows, ions from its immediate environment are incorporated into the matrix of the fish scale and so scales can be used as biomarkers of pollution events. 2014-08-15T14:20:35Z 2014-08-15T14:20:35Z 2013 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6579 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
