As part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Status and Trends Program conducted from 1984 to 1987, mercury concentrations were analyzed in four marine bivalve species in U.S. coastal waters (NOAA 1987). Mercury concentrations in bivalve tissues ranged from 0.01 to 0.48 g/g (ppm) dry weight in oysters (Crassostrea virginica), 0.28 to 0.41 g/g (ppm) in the Hawaiian oyster (Ostrea sandwichensis), 0.05 to 0.47 g/g (ppm) in the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis), and 0.04 to...

It was once thought that many bivalves lack the enzyme systems needed to biotransform PAHs (Lee et al. 1972 Vandermeulen and Penrose 1978) however, recent studies show relatively short half-lives (days) for many PAHs (Lake et al. 1985 McLeese and Burridge 1987). An early study by Lee et al. (1972) found that mussels Mytilus edulis) were able to accumulate, but not metabolize, radiolabeled naphthalene and benzo[a]pyrene. Another study with mussels (Mytilus edulis), clams (Mya arenaria), and oysters (Ostrea edulis) found no evidence of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxlyase, even after 6 yr of exposure to oil from a shipwreck (Vandermeulen and...
