Table 3. Summary of mean wet/dry weight ratios (W/D), shell length (1) and 

 tissue trace metal concentrations (ppm t l S.D.) in Mytilus edul is 

 deployed at Ram Island Reef (Rlr), Western Long Island Sound 

 reference (WLISrN), Mound Center (WLISc) and 500 meter west of the 

 mound (500M17) from June 1984 to June 1985. All WLIS stations were 

 restocked with Latimers Light mussels in March 1985 and sampled 

 concurrently with the original Rlr mussels.
