Abstract
Selected San Francisco Bay shellfish beds and their overlying waters were studied from April to June 1972. At a number of locations, bay shellfish were found to be contaminated by heavy metals and disease-causing bacteria, rendering them unfit for human consumption. When 1967 and 1972 surveys were compared, a decline was noted in both the shellfish mass and number of legal-sized clams.
