The uptake kinetics of PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), DDTs (DDT and its metabo lites), CHLs (chlordane and related compounds), HCHs (hexachlorocyclohexane isomers) and HCB (hexachlorobenzene) were examined in blue and green mussels through the transplantation experiment that was conducted in Aburatsubo Bay and Tokyo Bay in a period of 8 weeks from July to October, 1998. Concentration levels of PCBs and DDTs in the transplanted mussels reached those in native mussels and oysters after 2 weeks of transplantation. The compositions of DDT-related compounds and chlordane-related compounds also changed similar to the native ones with the same period. This observation suggests that these blue and green mussels have the ability to respond rapidly to changes in ambient levels of organochlorines. Thus, these species could be considered as good bioindicators for understanding short-term variable pollution. No significant difference was observed for organochlorine concentrations and compositions between blue and green mussels in the overall transplantation experiment, implying that in marine pollution monitoring, it is not always necessary to use single species of mussels as bioindicator.
