2005, Volume 39, Pages 1492-1505 Lieven Bervoets,* Judith Voets, Adrian Covaci, Shaogang Chu, Diab Qadah, Roel Smolders, Paul Schepens, and Ronny Blust: Errata on Manuscript: Use of Transplanted Zebra Mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) To Assess the Bioavailability of Microcontaminants in Flemish Surface Waters Page 1495. In Table 1, for some sites (sites 26, 27, and 28) clay and OC content were interchanged. Page 1498. In Table 5, for all sites clay and OC content were interchanged (the column heading was wrong) and for site 20 presented values for clay and OC are wrong. The corrected data are given in the tables below.
