Influence of a selective feeding behaviour by the blue mussel Mytilus trossulus on the assimilation of 109Cd from environmentally relevant seston matrices

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of a selective feeding strategy on the assimilation efficiency of lo9Cd (Io9Cd-AE) by the blue mussel Mytilus trossulus. Two complementary experiments which used 5 seston matrices of different seston quality (SQ) were implemented:
