Comparison of metallothionein induction in response to cadmium in the gills of the bivalve molluscs Mytilus galloprovincialis and Ruditapes decussatus

open access: yes, 1998
Metal binding characteristics and metallothionein induction differ markedly among the gills of the bivalve molluscs Mytilus galloprovincialis and Ruditapes decussatus exposed to sublethal cadmium concentrations (100 μg/l).

In situ potential use of metallothionein as a biomarker of cadmium contamination in Ruditapes decussatus

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2009
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 ...

ON THE GENETIC STRUCTURE OF RUDITAPES DECUSSATUS (MOLLUSCA, BIVALVIA) INFERRED BY NUCLEAR AND MITOCHONDRIAL GENETIC MARKERS

open access: yes, 2020
Analyses of 478 polymorphic AFLP loci and about 540 base pairs COI provided an account of genetic variation among Ruditapes decussatus populations from both the French Atlantic coast and the Mediterranean Sea.

Histological study of the gonadal development of Ruditapes decussates (L.) (Mollusca: Bivalvia) and its relationship with available food

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2005
This article describes the effects of food availability on the sexual maturation of Ruditapes decussates through histological examination of the gonadal tissue. Three food rations were tested: High (H: 1 mg. organic matter.

Nitric oxide production by carpet shell clam (Ruditapes decussatus) hemocytes

open access: yesDevelopmental & Comparative Immunology, 2003
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).

Dinamica di popolazione di Ruditapes Decussatus (L) e insediamento di Rudutapes Philippinarum (Adams&Reeve) in Sardegna (Italia) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Ruditapes decussatus is a traditional resource of fishing activity in Sardinia Island. This species is not cultured, but fishermen picked them up from the bottom of brackish areas.

Kinetic model of cadmium accumulation and elimination and metallothionein response in Ruditapes decussatus

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2007
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.
