TI  - Can the byssus of green-lipped mussel Perna viridis (Linnaeus) from the west 
      coast of Peninsular Malaysia be a biomonitoring organ for Cd, Pb and Zn? Field 
      and laboratory studies.
PG  - 521-8
AB  - Concentrations of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in total soft tissues 
      (ST) and byssus (BYS) of the green-lipped mussel Perna viridis from 11 different 
      geographical locations off the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia were determined. 
      The metal concentrations distributed between the BYS and ST were compared. The 
      results of this study indicated that higher levels of Cd (1.31 microg/g), Pb 
      (38.49 microg/g) and Zn (206.52 microg/g) were accumulated in the BYS than in the 
      total ST (Cd: 0.29 microg/g; Pb: 8.27 microg/g; Zn: 102.6 microg/g). Semi-static 
      and short period controlled laboratory experiments were also conducted for the 
      accumulation and depuration of Cd, Pb and Zn in the total ST and BYS of P. 
      viridis. The ratios (BYS/ST) for Pb and Cd from the laboratory experiments showed 
      that the total ST accumulated more metals than the BYS. Therefore, these 
      laboratory results disagreed with those found for the field samples. However, the 
      laboratory results for the Zn ratio (BYS/ST) agreed with those of the field 
      samples. It was evident that when compared to the ST, the BYS was a more 
      sensitive biomonitoring organ for Zn while it could be a complementary organ for 
      Cd and Pb in the total ST. Since total ST of P. viridis had been reported to have 
      regulative mechanism for Zn, its BYS can be used as a biomonitoring organ for the 
      identification of coastal areas exposed to Zn pollution.
