Phelps, D., W. Galloway, F. Thurberg, E. Gould, AND M. Dawson. COMPARISON OF SEVERAL PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING TECHNIQUES AS APPLIED TO THE BLUE MUSSEL, 'MYTILUS EDULIS' ALONG A GRADIENT OF POLLUTANT STRESS IN NARRAGANSETT BAY, RHODE ISLAND. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/D-82/222 (NTIS PB82181793), 1982.

Description:

Sublethal pollutant stress in mussels was clearly detected in a field-monitoring situation and provides an evaluation of several criteria of physiological response. This study presents the necessary coupling of tissue residue analyses to biological effects, a blending of chemistry and biology that is a powerful tool for field monitoring.
