Abstract
In previous work we have studied the uptake and distribution of technetium in several marine organisms, including microbial species, unicellular and pericellular algae and molluscs [1–5]. The experimental work on technetium uptake by molluscs (Littorina littorea, Mytilus edulis, Patella caerula and Patella vulgata) was continued. In addition, investigations were realised on the marine fish Serranus cabrilla, contaminated with 99Tc-pertechnetate (direct contamination) or fed with labeled molluscs (indirect contamination).
