Comparative Study of the Accumulation of Ni in Different Tissues of
Mussels and Soft Clams

Περίληψη:
Two bivalves, the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, and the soft clam
Callista chione were exposed to various Ni concentrations for a total
period of 20 days, and then a depuration period of 10 days followed.
Nickel accumulation in gills, mantle and the remaining body of the
animals was measured after 5, 10, 15 and 20 days of exposure to
Ni-contaminated seawater. The two organisms showed different behavior
regarding Ni accumulation in all three tissues examined. In all
concentrations, Ni accumulation increased with time in all three tissues
of Mytilus galloprovincialis with gills being the most effective
accumulator per dry mass. On the other hand, Callista chione showed an
initial response to Ni contamination the first 5 days, followed by
stabilization or even a slight decrease of Ni accumulation.
