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
decrease of 18.8 gin. in weight.

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-

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,

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 The results are given for dry weights (Merlini, unpublished data
