The effect of complexation on the accumulation of dissolved copper by the American oyster Crassostrea virginica was determined in chemically defined exposure media. The speciation of copper was varied by varying the concentrations of total copper and model chelator, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA). Accu

Adult oysters, Crassostrea ~r~nica (Gmelin) were held in seawater containing 10 or 1OO ppb mercury in the form of mercuric acetate for 45 days. Mercury concentration in tissues was determined by analysis of individually homogenized oyster meats using wet digestion and flameless absorption spectropho
