Signatures of Selection for Resistance/Tolerance to Perkinsus olseni in Grooved Carpet Shell Clam (Ruditapes decussatus) Using a Population Genomics Approach [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsThe grooved carpet shell clam (Ruditapes decussatus) is a bivalve of high commercial value distributed throughout the European coast. Its production has suffered a decline caused by different factors, especially by the parasite Perkinsus olsenii ...

Effect of TBT on Ruditapes decussatus juveniles
Chemosphere, 2006 The effects of sublethal concentrations of tributyltin (TBT) on growth of juvenile clams Ruditapes decussatus were determined during exposure to TBT concentrations of 50, 100 and 250 ng l(-1) (as Sn) for a period up to two years. Length and weight of clams increased continuously in all treatments throughout the experimental period, and, overall, rates ...

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 ...

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 ...
