Notes: Abstract The concentrations of Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn were determined inMytilus edulis from 48 locations in SW Iceland, as well as in moored mussles. The purpose was to establish baseline conditions and to evaluate anthropogenic influences. As reference stations, 34 locations away from population centres, were selected. Data on the metal content of soft tissues were examined in relation to both tissue weight and shell length. The data reveal Pb and Hg contamination in mussels from the vicinity of Reykjavík. Leaded petrol, paints and diffuse urban uses are considered as sources of these anomalies. A comparison is made with published mussel watch results.
