b'or mussels, on any particnlrir date anil for a >',ivfMi metal, the staiulard 

 i^rror bars generally overlap amongst locations. Unlike the previous year, the 

 Fox Island South mussels did not liave mean concentrations consistently greater 

 than the other two stations, at any time. As was the case for oysters, then, 

 there is no evident relationship betwe(>n metal levels in mussels and proximity 

 to the coolint' water plume.
