Abstract
In the benthic amphipod Anonyx sp., and the euphausiid Euphausia pacifica Hansen, 65Zn accumulated from seawater was shown by autoradiography to be localized predominantly in the exoskeleton and interstitial spaces of the myofibrils. Also, the gut and hepatopancreas of Anonyx sp. and the eye of E. pacifica contained 65Zn. The presence of 65Zn in crustacean exoskeletons may affect the efficiency of transfer of 65Zn through the food web and the vertical distribution of 65Zn in the Pacific Ocean along the Oregon coast.Keywords
