The functional morphology of kidney cells and the intracellular localization of metal storage sites were studied by electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis in the Antarctic scallop Adamussium colbecki (Smith) collected at Gerlache Inlet, Terra Nova Bay, Antarctic in December 1990. Kidney cells o...
