Bioaccumulation
ability of five species of seaweeds namely Enteromorpha
intestinalis (Green) Fucus serratus,
Fucus vesiculosus, Pelvetia canaliculata (Brown) and Furcellaria lumbricalis (Red) have been studied in the vicinity of
acid mine drainage affected area. The concentration of Cu, Al, Fe, Mn and Zn in
these seaweeds was determined by Inductive Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission
Spectrometry (ICP-AES). These metals were also estimated in the seawater to
compute the concentration factors for the metals in studied seaweeds.  Bio-sequestering capacity of different seaweed
to different metals and their suitability for bioremediation under the
influence of acid mine drainage is discussed.
