Metallothioneins in aquatic invertebrates : their role in metal detoxification and their use as biomarkers

TL;DR: Information on metallothioneins in three important groups of aquatic invertebrates-the molluscs, crustaceans and annelid worms, and attempted to seek explanations for some of the apparent inconsistencies present in the dataset are collated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative study of the patterns of bioaccumulation of essential (Cu, Zn) and non-essential (Cd, Pb) trace metals in various estuarine and coastal organisms

TL;DR: In one fish and one decapod crustacean species it has been shown that the regulation mechanisms may be functional since early life stages, when the duration of exposure to essential metals increases, the regulation mechanism is disturbed by more and more low additional concentrations in sea water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution to the ecotoxicological study of cadmium, lead, copper and zinc in the mussel Mytilus edulis

TL;DR: In this article, the factors which condition bioaccumulation by using controlled populations of mussels, Mytilus edulis L, sampled monthly over more than two years (March 1982-May 1984) in the Bay of Bourgneuf, France.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of different essential and non-essential metals on MTLP levels in the Copepod Tigriopus brevicornis.

TL;DR: Comparative crustacean 96-h LC(50) data in the literature show that Tigriopus brevicornis is a sensitive species suggesting that copepods are good indicators of minimal lethal concentrations of metals, and the induction of these proteins and their implication in detoxificatory mechanisms and trophic transfer are discussed.
