Transplant Experiments as a Tool for Evaluating the Suitability of Sessile Organisms as Biomonitor Species in Tropical Coastal Waters: The Case of the Brown Mussel Perna perna (Linnaeus, 1758) in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

Transplant Experiments as a Tool for Evaluating the Suitability of Sessile Organisms as Biomonitor Species in Tropical Coastal Waters: The Case of the Brown Mussel Perna perna (Linnaeus, 1758) in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

The present study evaluates mercury (Hg) toxicokinetics in Perna perna (L.) mussels from tropical bays through transplantation experiments. The mussels were transplanted from Guanabara Bay (GB) to Ilha Grande Bay (IGB). The experiments were carried out in December 2008 (experiment 1) and June 2009 (...
