Study of some marine bivalves as the biomonitor candidates for environmental assessment of the Jiaozhou Bay by NAA and AAS 1 first-author 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 Institute of High Energy Physics, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100080 Institute of High Energy Physics, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100080 Institute of Oceanology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao 266071 Institute of Oceanology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao 266071 Some kinds of marine bivalves were selected as the biomonitor candidates to study the possibility of the environmental assessment of the Jiaozhou Bay with biomonitors. The contents of 29 elements in bivalve samples were determined by neutron activation analysis and atomic absorption spectrometry. It is found that clam is a suitable kind of marine bivalves as a biomonitor to evaluate the environmental quality of the Jiaozhou Bay. The environmental status of some sampling sites in this marine area was tentatively assessed by the biomonitors of calm and mussel.
