Abstract
Adults of mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus, scallop Aquipecten irradians, oyster Crassostrea virginica, and subadult lobsters Homarus americanus were immersed for 21 days in flowing sea water containing 10 μg/liter of cadmium as[Formula: see text]. Cadmium residues in whole animals and selected tissues were consistently higher in exposed organisms than controls; edible portions of treated lobster (muscle), scallop (adductor muscle), and oyster (whole animal) contained more cadmium per unit wet weight than controls by 25%, 19%, and 352%, respectively.
