Description

Uptake and distribution of 110mAg in oyster, Crassostrea gigas, from ambient water and food were studied. Results showed that the oyster could quickly and largely uptake waterborne 110mAg, the whole body concentration factor for 110mAg reached as high as 2467 during 23 days of exposure. The concentration factors in the organs was in order of gill (33661) > mental (23119) > siphon (21818) > remainder part (17685) > adductor (9915) > shell (189). The oyster could also uptake 110mAg from the labeled Platymonas subcordiformis, a marine unicell algae, with a retention rate of more than 80% after 2 days of feeding
