“…Waterfowl predation explain the low abundance of clams in some shallow water areas; and it is here that potentially productive blooms may form and be "exported" to adjacent habitat (Cloern 2007). However, shoal blooms such as these are likely to be either rapidly dispersed because of the dynamic estuarine environment, or consumed in the heterotrophic deeper channels which continue to hold clams (Thompson et al 2007). …”

“…6 Predatory marine mammals have high potential for accumulating some elements since they have relatively long life spans, and generally occupy a high trophic level in the marine food chain. 7,8 They represent the ultimate biological "sink" for many persistent pollutants 9 and also have been considered good bioindicators of environmental contamination. 10 The analysis of tissues from different species of whales and dolphins has been used as a tool for the assessment of marine pollution by trace elements.…”

“…Os mamíferos marinhos representam o último "repositório" para muitos poluentes persistentes 8 sendo, portanto, muito sensíveis às variações ambientais. 9 O mercúrio, como metilmercúrio, e o selênio são incorporados e bioacumulados ao longo da vida dos peixes e mamíferos marinhos, principalmente através do alimento, via dieta alimentar.…”
