    Citation Excerpt :

    The role of the periostracum in detoxifying metals seems to vary between different species. It seems to be important in the case of mytilids (George, 1980), but less so in the pteriid Perna viridis (Nicholson and Szefer, 2003). In comparison with soft tissues, byssus and shells, the periostracum has not received much attention as a detoxifying tissue.
