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.

Using Environmental DNA metabarcoding to detect clams in lagoons
Clams are coastal resources widely exploited by both fishing and aquaculture. Most inhabit shallow waters, especially lagoons, that are transitional zones between the sea and land.
