The method was applied to the determination of mercuiy(II), copper(II), lead(II), cadmium(II) and zinc(II) in the marine organisms under study, namely Mytilus Galloprovincialis, Tapes Philippinarum, and tuna fish (Thunnus thymus species) sampled during the Summer 2012 in three sites located in the Adriatic Sea (Italy) between the Goro Bay and the Ravenna Lagoon (1 Goro Bay area 2 Reno River Mouth area 3 Ravenna Lagoon area). The experimental results are reported in Table 19. 

About 8-10 Kg of mussels, species Mytilus Galloprovincialis and of clams, species Tapes Philippinarum were collected during the Summer 2012. Each matrix was immediately put into a portable refrigerator, taken to the laboratory and prepared for analysis. 

Extraction of the oyster Crassostrea gigas and the clam Tapes philippinarum yielded a series of polyamines that are widespread in many other species of marine invertebrates these are shown in Figure 23.41 (Hamana et al, 1991).
