POLLUTANT LEVELS
IN BIVALVES
A DATA BIBLIOGRAPHY
Compiled by Gayle M. Kidder
Scripps Institution of Oceanography
under the Mussel Watch Program, 1977
(EPA Contract No. R-80421501)

-------
INTRODUCTION
This volume attempts to present a compendium of the data presently
available on levels of four major pollutants in bivalves, to provide base-
line data for present and future studies. It was compiled at Scripps Insti-
tution of Oceanography under the Mussel Watch Program sponsored by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Contract No. R-80421501).
The four major categories of pollutants investigated are metals, pesti-
cides and halogenated hydrocarbons, radionuclides, and petroleum hydrocarbons.
Entries herein are divided according to pollutant category, with a special
section for papers dealing with analyses of two or more categories. Entries
are arranged alphabetically by author in each section.
Analytical data presented has been confined primarily to that concerning
the class Pelecypoda (= Lamellibranchia, = Bivalvia), even though many other
organisms may have been included in particular papers. Biological species
names are those used by the individual authors, and no attempt has been made
to standardize the taxonomy. Our systematic sources in deciding which organ-
isms to include have been Vokes (1967) and Keen and Coan (1974), and we would
recommend reference to these for taxonomic difficulties.
As far as possible we have tried to present all research data relevant
to a comparison of results from different laboratories, using different tech-
niques, and often for different purposes. When discernible we have included
a note as to whether the quantities expressed are on a wet or dry weight basis,
and if dry, at what temperature the specimens were dried, so that allowances
can be made for these variables.

-------
A library of the literature is being maintained at Scripps Institution
of Oceanography. The material will hopefully be computerized in the near
future to provide even readier access to the data. We hope that this com-
pilation will help solve some of the great problems encountered in garnishing
of relevant information in the proliferation of scientific publications
today, at least in this one small area.

The above numbers are expressed on the drv material, but it may be taken
that, in all cases, the amounts of copper and lead present in the wet edible portions
would be approximately one-fourth.
In the case of native oysters, lead was found to be present in the three samples
examined, each of which represented about one dozen specimens. The results,
e:tpTC.sscd-on the dried edible portions, were 12 parts, 20 parts, and 400 parts per
million, respectively.
Five samples of Portuguese oysters were similarly examined, and found to
contain the following amounts of lead, expressed in parts per million on the drv
edible substance: No. 1, 21; No. 2, 10; No. 3, 25; No. 4, 307; and No. 5, 27.
It was not thought necessary to examine any of the oysters for zinc and
copper, as this has been done by several workers, and numbers are recorded in t!:c
literature showing the presence of quantities of copper varying from 4 to 3otK>,
and of zinc varying from 70 to 2100 parts per million. The highest numbers we
have seen, both for copper and for zinc, are contained in the Report issued by the
Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries entitled Fishery Investigations (Series J,
Vol. VI, No. 4, 1024), and were obtained in the Government Laboratory.

The Significance of the Occurrence of Copper, Man-

amounts of the elements copper, manganese and zinc
are widely distributed in nature. The author found, iu
parts per million of the nioisture-freo matter, copper,
iron, maiiganeso and line in tho following species of
shellfish: Crayfish, 75 cu; 89G Ve; 250 Mn; 320 Zn.

manganese and zinc are vitally concerned in the metab-
olism of shell-fish and are probably vital factor* in the
metabolism of higher animal* as well.

Mercury
Average mercury levels were generally quite low (much less than
0.50 /jg.g-1) in all six species examined. At 0.23 p.g.gr1, Mytilus edulis
had the highest average level. The averages for Crassostrea plomerata
and Ostrea lularia were 0.18 jxg.g""1 and 0.19 ng^gr1. In lialiotis iris,
Perna canaliculus, and Pecten novaezelundiae the averages were 0.10,
0.09, and 0.05 ^g^g"1 respectively.
Figure 6. the histogram for mercury in C. glomerata, shows the distri-

*300 gin. of fi'f^li oysters were used for this experiment, but small frag-
ments of tissue were unavoidably lost during the dissections, and consid-
erable evaporation of water occurred. These factors account for the

(Six scallop* from Kilbrennan Sound, Firth of Clyde were opened up and separated into meat,
gonads and viscera. Individual meat and gonads + total viscera were analysed for Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb.
All results arc given in ppm wet weight.)

wet wt) and suspended particulates (pCi/Ji) collected during the December
1973 short-term experiment. Zero time, 1530 on December 3, is the time
the oysters were placed in the discharge canal water. Solid triangles,
oysters in filtered seawater; open triangles, oysters in unfiltered sea-
water. The first two sets of points are the prerelease and postrelease
samples listed in Table 10. The shaded portions of the rectilinear curve
(suspended particulates) indicate the release intervals.

Merlini, M. 1968.
The difference in distribution of stable manganese in Unio mancus and Anodonta cygnca of Lago
Uigeiore collected from the same site, can be seen in the following table. The percentages reported
breach organ are based on the total amount of stable Mn found in the soft tissues alone (Merlini,
upoblished data):

Anodonta cygnea
84-5%
10-0%

0-2%
Although a direct comparison between Anodonta and Unio, based on the size or age of the
immal, is not possible, it is still interesting to compare stable and fallout MMn in certain organs of
llitse bivalves for verification of what has already been discussed. Both species were collected from
4eLago di Varese in May, 1964. The results are given for dry weights (Merlini, unpublished data
