Linkage
of Bioaccumulation and Biological Effects to Changes
in Pollutant Loads in South San Francisco Bay by Michelle Hornberger,

Figure 1. Pointsource
Influence. Copper
loads from the PARWQP strongly influenced copper
bioaccumulation.

2. Regional Influence.
Both Cu and Zn concentrations in M. balthica strongly
correlated to surrogate measures of urban run-off.
These relationships were not evident prior to
1989, when the point-source dominated metal bioaccumulation.
