| Abstract: | The rate of uptake of 14C-dieldrin by crab larvae (Leptodius floridanus) from 0.5 ppb in seawater and from 213 ppb (dry weight) in their food was measured. It was found that, if equal concentrations of dieldrin were available to the larvae in their food and in seawater, the animals would accumulate the pesticide about 8000 times as fast from the water as from the food. |
