Various forms of regression analysis are presented which show that there is a significant equilibrium relationship between total recoverable cadmium in seawater and its concentration in the mussel Mytilus edulis (P < 0.001). The calculations show that the concentration of cadmium in seawater should
In a short-term (162 h) accumulation experiment with mussels Mytilus edulis exposed to 100 ppb Cd and fed algal cells (Phaeodactylum tricornutum) in 1986, it was found that uptake via food played an insignificant role compared to direct uptake from ambient water (19%0 S). From measurements of the fi
