Accumulation and elimination of [9-14C]phenanthrene in the calico clam (Macrocallista maculata)

Studies have been carried out on the uptake and excretion of phenanthrene by calico clams collected from Harrington Sound, Bermuda, and the results obtained for this subtropical species are compared with those for other marine organisms. The clam was found to accumulate more phenanthrene than mussel...

Zusammenfassung:	Studies have been carried out on the uptake and excretion of phenanthrene by calico clams collected from Harrington Sound, Bermuda, and the results obtained for this subtropical species are compared with those for other marine organisms. The clam was found to accumulate more phenanthrene than mussels from temperate regions, but elimination was more rapid.
