“…Their byssus samples were pooled, and 2-3 replicates were analyzed from each site. The STs, byssus, and sediments were dried at 105 ° C for 72 hours in an oven to constant dry weights [12]. The dried and sieved sediment samples were digested in concentrated nitric acid (AnalaR grade BDH, 69%) and perchloric acid (AnalaR grade BDH, 60%) in the ratio of 4 : 1 while the mussel ST and byssus samples were digested in concentrated nitric acid (AnalaR grade BDH, 69%) [4].…”

Recently, Yap et al. (2003) suggested that the byssus of the green-lipped mussel Perna viridis can be a biomonitoring material for Zn although further validation is required. In this work, we did a simple correlation study between Zn concentrations in the byssus (and soft tissue) and in different geochemical fractions of the sediment. A significant ( P < 0.01) Pearson's correlation coefficient ( R = 0.84) between the Zn concentrations in the byssus and soft tissue indicated that the Zn level in the byssus is highly correlated to its level in the soft tissue and that the byssus could act as an excretion route for Zn. Higher R-values were found between the byssus-easily or freely, leachable and exchangeable, byssus-acid-reducible, byssus-oxidizable-organic and byssus-nonresistant fractions of the sediment, and the byssus-Zn concentration in the total sediment when compared to those found between the soft tissue and the same geochemical fractions. This indicated that the byssus was more reflective of Zn contamination in the field environment than the soft tissue. Therefore, the data further support the use of the byssus as a biomonitoring material for Zn as was originally suggested by Yap et al. [3].

“…The resulting solution was completed to 25mL with de-ionized water (Amaral, 1989). Water content determination was conducted by drying selected samples in 100ºC oven until constant weight (Mo and Neilson, 1994). and MA-A-2 ('fish flesh homogenate', International Atomic Energy Agency) digested in microwave oven in 5mL nitric acid and completed to 25mL with de-ionized water.…”

“…After dissection, digestive glands were rinsed in distilled water and dried at 120°C for 48 hr until constant weight was reached (Mo and Neilson, 1994). Samples were digested in concentrated nitric acid, diluted with 0.1 M nitric acid, and analyzed by AAS (Perkin-Elmer 2280) with simultaneous background correction and a sensitivity of 0.3 mg/liter.…”
