LaTouche, Y. David and Michael C. Mix. 1981. Seasonal Variation in Soft Tissue Weights and Trace Metal Burdens in the Bay Mussel, Mytilus edulis. Bull. Environ. Contam. Toxicol. 27(6):821-828. (ERL,GB X310).

The purposes of the present study were to measure the levels of 6 trace metals in M. edulis soft tissues during a 9-month period, establish patterns of seasonal variation and determine the normal ranges of metal burdens in mussels. The metals were vanadium (V), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and cadmium (Cd); Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd are EPA Priority Pollutants.
