Abstract
Mytius californianus exposed for 9 days to a seawater system containin g [H-3]methylarsonic acid, was found to contain [H-3]methylarsonic aci d along with [H-3]arsenobetaine and two unknown H-3-labeled compounds in the tissue parts of the mussel. A linear increase with time in the specific activity present in the flesh of Mytilus californianus was al so observed. The highest specific activity was found in the visceral m ass and the gills of the mussel.
