RESUMEN
1. The depuration rate constant for [14C]hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in the clam, Macoma nasuta, was determined following a short-term exposure to HCB contaminated seawater. 2. Depuration was not correlated with ventilation volume, nor did the amount of sediment ingested during depuration have a significant effect. 3. The half-life for HCB in M. nasuta was estimated to be 16 days with a bioconcentration factor of 3490 (wet weight basis).
