The results demonstrate the first attempt to determine metallothionein turnover in the whole soft tissues of mussels Mytilus edulis exposed to cadmium. Half-lives for metallothionein and cadmium are 25 and 300 days, respectively. As metallothionein degrades the released cadmium induces further synth
The difference between the cadmium uptake via food and seawater in Mytilus edulis has been studied. This was done by labelling algae with Cd-109 and seawater with Cd-115m. Mussels were fed on six different quantities of Isochrysis galbana. Cadmium uptake via algae was more efficient at low food lev
Accumulation rates of cadmium, the amount of food ingested and assimilated, the amount of oxygen consumed and changes in dry flesh weight have been measured in Mytilus eduIis L. exposed to 0, 10 and 100 ppb cadmium for 17 d in aquaria with seawater flowing continuously and at constant algal concentr
The uptake, storage and e x c r e t i o n of cadmium by the common mussel Mytilus edulis(L.) has been studied at sub-lethal c o n c e n t r a t i o n s using the r a d i o a c t i v e isotope 115mCd as a marker. After an initial lag period, the uptake at low c o n c e n t r a t i o n s in sea w a t
