Abstract
Levels of copper, lead, zinc and cadmium in sediments, waters and mussels (Mytilus edulis) from Corio Bay (Vic.) were measured on two occasions in 1977. The bay has restricted water exchange with Port Phillip Bay and is known to have received a major input of cadmium. The respective concentrations of copper, lead, zinc and cadmium in the sediments were 2-50,2-2l0,4-398 and up to 12.6 �g/g; in the unfiltered waters, I .5-25,Keywords
