Silver soft tissue

Season of collection (Fowler and Oregioni 1976 Sanders etal. 1991) and latitude (Anderlini 1974) also influenced silver accumulations. Seasonal variations in silver concentrations of Baltic clams (Macoma balthica) were associated with seasonal variations in soft tissue weight and frequently reflected the silver content in the sediments (Cain and Luoma 1990). Oysters from the Gulf of Mexico vary considerably in whole-body concentrations of silver and other trace metals. Variables that modify silver concentrations in oyster tissues include the age, size, sex, reproductive stage, general health, and metabolism of the animal water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen,...
