Abstract
Gills of adult rock crabs,Cancer irroratus Say, collected near a sewage disposal site in the New York Bight apex were analyzed for copper, lead, cadmium, and silver. One gill from each animal was processed for histologic study to document pathological conditions within the tissues, and the presence or absence of fouling organisms on gill surfaces. Comparisons are made between metal concentrations in rock crab gills and published data on crustaceans from other locations.
