An experimental study of the uptake and loss of Ra-226 by the tissue of the tropical freshwater mussel Velesunio angasi (Sowerby) under varying Ca and Mg water concentrations

Jeffree Ross; Simpson R. (Springer, 1986)

Freshwater mussels Yelesunio angasi (Sowerby) from Magela Creek, Alligator Rivers Region, Northern Territory, Australia, experimentally exposed to mean elevated Ra-226 water concentrations ranging between 0.95 and 1 .85 ...
Radium-226 is accumulated in calcium granules in the tissues of the freswater mussel, Velesunio angasi: Support for a metabolic analogue hypothesis

Jeffree Ross; Simpson R. (Elsevier B.V., 1984)

Abstract-\. The distribution of226Ra, Ca, Ba and Mg in the tissues of the freshwater mussel, Velesunio angasi, was studied. 2. The concentration of 226Ra is significantly (P < 0.05) and positively correlated with the ...
