    Abstract
    Rate of uptake increased linearly during the initial period of 20-30 days. Compared to the gastropod, the rate of uptake in oyster was 2.2 and 9.4 times more respectively for Cu and Zn. In oysters collected from a polluted area off Bombay Coast, India, high levels of Zn (av 4522 mu g.g/1 dry wt) and Cu (av 420 mu g.g/1 dry wt) were observed. The concentrations of these metals in the snails were low (av 216 and 126 mu g.g/1 dry wt respectively)
