Figure 1

Relationship of biotic-sediment concentration factors (BSCF) across sites (ADAMS, PHGB, WELLS, MDI) and four focal taxa to: a) TOC (2006) and b) SEM-AVS (2006). Symbols: (open square) Mytilus, (solid square) Carcinus, (open circle) Littorina, (solid circle) Fundulus. Equation for %TOC ANCOVA: Log10 BSCF= X − 0.69 · (% TOC), where X=0.87 for Carcinus, 1.23 for Fundulus, 1.19 for Littorina, and 1.46 for Fundulus; see Table 2 for statistics. Equation for SEM-AVS ANCOVA: Log10 BSCF= X − 0.067 · (SEM-AVS), where X=0.68 for Carcinus, 1.03 for Fundulus, 1.01 for Littorina, and 1.27 for Fundulus; see Table 2 for statistics.
