Effects of an Endocrine Disruptor Triclosan on Ruditapes decussatus: Multimarker and Histological Approaches [PDF]
Animals, 2023 The aim of this work was to study the ecotoxicological effects of an endocrine disruptor triclosan on the clam Ruditapes decussatus. The bivalves were exposed to three concentrations of this biocide (C1 = 100 ng/L, C2 = 200 ng/L and C3 = 500 ng/L) for ...

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 ...

Effect of the High Temperature on Growth, Metabolism, and Fatty Acid Profile of the Clam Ruditapes decussatus Culture with and Without Substrate [PDF]
AnimalsRising seawater temperatures associated with climate change are expected to increasingly challenge the sustainability of bivalve aquaculture, particularly in estuarine environments where thermal variability is naturally high.

Isolation and characterisation of metallothionein from the clam Ruditapes decussatus [PDF]
Aquatic Toxicology, 2003 Metallothioneins (MT) were obtained after purification from metal-exposed clams (Ruditapes decussatus) using gel-permeation and ion-exchange chromatography. Four cadmium-metallothioneins (CdMTs) were resolved by ion-exchange chromatography and they all had similar molecular weights, high cadmium content and an absorption spectra indicative of the ...
