Field transplantation of the bivalve Scrobicularia plana along a mercury gradient in Ria de Aveiro (Portugal): uptake and depuration kinetics

The bioaccumulation and depuration capabilities ofmercury by the edible bivalve Scrobicularia plana was studied in a coastal lagoon (Ria de Aveiro, Portugal) through a transplantation experiment. Little information on this topic is available in the literature, especially concerning different tissues...
