Note(s): Mussels, Mytilus edulis, were exposed in a daily static renewal protocol to five different[I- ¹⁴C]bis(tributyl)tin (TBT) concentrations: 23, 45, 63, 141 or 670 ng L -ˉ¹ . The time courseof accumulation in four tissues (gills, viscera, adductor muscle and mantle) was determined for aperiod of 2 to 7 weeks. The pattern of uptake was strongly concentration-dependent.
