contents Fe, Zn, Cu and Cd concentrations in the digestive gland and muscle tissues of Octopus vulgaris and Sepia officinalis from two coastal areas in Portugal Joana Raimundo Patrícia Pereira Carlos Vale Miguel Caetano Ciencias de la Tierra metals Portugal cephalopods digestive gland Concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cu and Cd were measured in the mantle, arm and digestive gland of Octopus vulgaris (Cuvier,1797) and in the mantle and digestive gland of Sepia officinalis (Linnaeus, 1758) captured at two sites on the Portuguese coastduring 2001. The most abundant element was Zn, reaching 121 µg g–1 in muscle tissues; Fe and Cu presented a similar range ofconcentration, 5.4–81 µg g–1 and 3.3–72 µg g–1, respectively; and Cd varied between 0.010 and 3.3 µg g–1.
