Involvement of Metallothionein in Zn Accumulation and Elimination Strategies in Ruditapes decussatus
Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2006 The aim of this study was to identify the involvement of metallothionein (MT) in Zn accumulation and elimination strategies in different tissues (gills, digestive gland, and remaining tissues) of Ruditapes decussatus. Clams were exposed to two Zn concentrations (100 and 1000 microg/L) for 40 days, followed by a depuration period of 50 days.

Metallothioneins in the clam Ruditapes decussatus: an overview [PDF]
Analusis, 2000 coastal waters. Due to its economic importance it is extensively cultured in many countries, and particularly in Portugal where its production represents > 80 % of total shellfish production. The selection of the clam R. decussatus as a bioindicator was a consequence of its economic importance and the need to use a filter-feeding bivalve to evaluate ...

Marine pollution by some heavy metals and physiological response of Ruditapes decussatus [PDF]
Journal of Bioscience and Applied Research, 2018 Bivalves can accumulate toxicants such as heavy metals in their tissues, for this reason, they are considered as good bio-indicators for water quality. The risk is increased due to eating these clams raw or lightly cooked.
