The influence of zinc upon the pattern and success of settlement was examined in the oysterCrassostrea gigas. Late larvae were more tolerant of zinc than embryos. A delay in settlement was recorded in treatments containing zinc as low as 125 ug/l, and numbers of larvae settling was reduced in the pr
