1. The process of digestion ( in vivo and in vitro) upon the chemical form of intrinsic cadmium (Cd) in oysters was examined. 2. Analyses of stomach contents of adult black sea bass ( Centropristis strial), 6 hr after consuming oysters previously exposed to Cd, indicated that Cd was associated with...
