Summary
Data are presented on the content of total Zn and Zn/sup 65/ in marine organisms from the Thames River, New Haven Harbor, and Pawcatuck River in Connecticut during 1961, 1962, and 1963. Procedures were developed for the determination of microgram,quantities of Zn, Zn/sup 65/, Cu, and Cd in marine organisms and sediments. Emphasis was placed on the uptake of Zn/sup 65/ by oysters (Crassostrea virginica) and limpets (Acmoea t. testudinalis) under natural and laboratory conditions. The effects of environmental factors such as current velocities, temperature, salinity, turbidity, and oxygen content of the water on Zn/sup 65/ uptake were studied. Preliminary results are included from studies of Zn/sup 65/ uptake by organisms attached to limpets. (C.H.)
