Development and evaluation of a bioassay protocol for predicting the bioaccumulation potential of sediment-associated contaminants / prepared by E.V.S. Consultants Ltd.: En40-965/1984E-PDF
"This study represents an initial step towards the development of a bioassay protocol for predicting bioaccumulation from contaminated dredge spoils. The study consisted of two distinct phases : 1) a 6 month laboratory exposure of a deposit-feeding clam (Macoma balthica) to contaminated test sediments, and 2) a field sampling program to assess bioaccumulation in resident biota from the same contaminated sites tested in the laboratory"--Summary.
