This study was an attempt to assess the magnitude and distribution pattern of trace element zinc in oysters to see if the problem of the magnitude of zinc contamination was evident in the South Carolina Fishery. It would identify potentially hazardous situations and persons affected would be made aware of the problem. Where high zinc concentration are found in oysters, it would then attempt to identify the source of pollution.
