Abstract

Samples ofK.hiantina and sediments were collected from iron ore tailings and other nearby sites within Tolo Harbour for heavy metal analysis. It was found that sediments as well as the clams at the tailings contained higher concentrations of Cd, Fe, Mn and Zn. Positive correlations between the metals in the sediments and clam tissues were found. The clams collected from the tailings showed a bustantial loss of Fe, Mn and Zn when reared in clean filtered seawater for a period of 8 days.
