Measuring Metal Uptake and Loss in Individual Organisms: A Novel Double Stable Isotope Method and its Application in Explaining Body Size Effects on Cadmium Concentration in Mussel... by Zhi Lin (281756)

Specifically, Cd <i>k</i>_u increases with size in X. atratus (0.057–0.297 L g^–1 d^–1) but decreases with size in P. viridis (0.155–0.351 L g^–1 d^–1). …”
