Clam bioaccumulation is not always representative of the chemical pressure on aquatic ecosystems. The positive correlation between sediment and biota concentrations in contaminated sites can be lost as a function of environmental conditions such as sediment toxicity and food availability.

Clam bioaccumulation is not always representative of the chemical pressure on aquatic ecosystems. The positive correlation between sediment and biota concentrations in contaminated sites can be lost as a function of environmental conditions such as sediment toxicity and food availability.
