- Abstract
The article discusses a study which determined the impact of the partitioning of cadmium to the trophically available metal (TAM) compartment within the amphipod, Gammarus lawrencianus on dietary cadmium absorption by the shrimp Palaemonetes pugio. The amphipods were collected from Great Kills Harbor in Staten Island, New York. The amphipods were subjected to homogenization to characterize the subcellular distribution of cadmium within G. lawrencianus. The study supported the hypothesis that TAM may represent maximum bioavailable cadmium in invertebrate prey.
