The Accumulation, Retention and Distribution of ~95mTc in Crab (Cancer pagurus L.) and Lobster (Homarus gammarus L.). A Comparative Study

摘要

The accumulation, retention and distribution of ~95mTc has been compared in lobsters and edible crabs kept under identical experimental conditions. The steady-state concentration factor (C_ss) for the uptake of ~95m Tc from seawater was significantly greater for female crabs (C_ss = 17.9) than for males (C_ss = 14.4), whereas in lobsters there was no such sex difference and the C_ss of 1161 was much greater than in crabs.
