In this study, we quantified the assimilation of sediment-bound Cd, Cr, and Zn in two
marine bivalves (the green mussel Perna viridis and the Manila clam Ruditapes
philippinarum) from Hong Kong coastal waters. These two bivalves are epifaunal (P.
viridis) and infaunal (R. philippinarum) suspension feeders. In their natural environments,
they primarily feed on suspended materials, including phytoplankton and
inorganic seston, many of which may originate from resuspended sediment, especially
during the typhoon season.
