The aim of this work was to evaluate the potential utility of several biochemical parameters as indicators of the toxic effects of cadmium in the freshwater clam Corbicula fluminea under two levels of oxygenation (normoxia 21kPa and hypoxia 4kPa). These variations in oxygenation are representative of the natural environments of bivalves living at the bottom of the water column, where hypoxic episodes...
An experimental study of the role of metallothioneins (MTs) in Cd and Zn depuration processes in the freshwater bivalve Corbicula fluminea was conducted after in situ exposure on the river Lot (France). Specimens of adult C. fluminea were first transplanted from a lacustrine reference site to a polymetallic polluted station (Bouillac, B ) for a 42-days' exposure period from September to November...
