Differential distribution pattern of native Ruditapes decussatus and introduced Ruditapes philippinarum clam populations in the Bay of Santander [PDF]
The aim of the present study is to provide a first characterization of the grooved carpet shell clam Ruditapes decussatus (native) and the Manila clam Ruditapes phillippinarum (nonindigenous) populations in the Bay of Santander in order to improve the ...

Cadmium (Cd) and metallothionein (MT) concentrations were analysed in the gills and digestive gland of clams Ruditapes decussatus collected from two sites of the Gulf of Gabès (Tunisia) which differ by their degree of pollution. The effect of biotic (maturity stages, protein, sex and body mass) and abiotic factors (temperature, salinity, site and ...

Nitric oxide production by carpet shell clam (Ruditapes decussatus) hemocytes
We have demonstrated that carpet shell clam (Ruditapes decussatus) hemocytes produce nitric oxide (NO) in response to zymosan or bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This NO production was partially inhibited by the NO synthase inhibitor, N-omega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NAME).

Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the response of metallothionein (MT) during Cd accumulation and elimination in different tissues of the estuarine bivalve Ruditapes decussatus exposed to two nominal Cd concentrations (4 and 40 μg/L) for 40 d, followed by a depuration period of 50 d.
