Abstract
Cadmium and copper flux through feeding induce a high accumulation oi these metals in tissues of the oyster Crassostrea gigas. The accumulat ion occurs without cellular injury. Using Electron Energy Loss Spectro scopy (EELS), analysis demonstrated that metals are accumulated in lys osomes, in which the heavy metals are stored as Cd2+ and Cu+.
