The tolerance of Perna viridis to a high inorganic mercury (Hg) exposure was determined based on its accumulation, depuration and distribution. The Hg accumulation of the mussel was conducted for a 4-day semi-static exposure at a ‘very’ high Hg concentration (100 μg/L). None of the mussels died afte...
