Accumulation of trace elements and growth responses in Corbicula fluminea downstream of a coal-fired power plant

Lentic organisms exposed to coal-fired power plant (CFPP) discharges can have elevated trace element concentrations in their tissues, but this relationship and its potential consequences are unclear for lotic organisms. To explore these patterns in a lotic environment, we transplanted Corbicula flum...
