  abstract = {{U}ptake of waterborne {C}d, {C}o, {M}n and {Z}n was determined in laboratory experiments using radiotracer techniques ({C}d-109, {C}o-57, {M}n-54 and {Z}n-65). {L}abelled {Z}n was mainly accumulated in the digestive gland (65%) and {C}o in kidneys (81%); {C}d and {M}n were similarly distributed in digestive gland and gills. {I}n a complementary field study, {A}g, {A}s, {C}d, {C}o, {C}r, {C}u, {F}e, {M}n, {N}i, and {Z}n were analysed in scallops collected at two stations showing different contamination levels. {D}igestive gland and kidneys displayed the highest concentrations. {A}g, {A}s, {C}d, and {F}e differed in soft tissues from the two stations, suggesting that {C}omptopallium radula could be a valuable local biomonitor species for these elements. {L}ow {M}n and {Z}n concentrations found in kidneys suggest that their content in calcium-phosphate concretions differs from the other pectinids. {P}reliminary risk considerations suggest that {A}s would be the only element potentially leading to exposure of concern for seafood consumers.},
