Journal ArticleDOI
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
Determination of vitellogenin-like properties inMya arenaria hemolymph (Saguenay Fjord, Canada): A potential biomarker for endocrine disruption
TL;DR: Field work revealed significant differences in hemolymph ALP levels from clams collected at specific intertidal stations of the Saguenay Fjord during temporal and spatial surveys in 1997, which appear to indicate that (anti‐)estrogenic chemicals may be present in the Sanguenay fjord.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phagocytic activity of marine and freshwater bivalves: in vitro exposure of hemocytes to metals (Ag, Cd, Hg and Zn).
Sébastien Sauvé,Pauline Brousseau,Jocelyne Pellerin,Y Morin,L Senécal,P Goudreau,Michel Fournier,Michel Fournier,Michel Fournier +8 more
TL;DR: The results show the variability of the toxic response of different species within a group of similar organisms and highlights the need to consider species-species differences in ecotoxicological risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow cytometry as a tool to monitor the disturbance of phagocytosis in the clam Mya arenaria hemocytes following in vitro exposure to heavy metals.
Pauline Brousseau,Jocelyne Pellerin,Y Morin,Y Morin,Daniel G. Cyr,Barry Blakley,Herman J. Boermans,Michel Fournier,Michel Fournier,Michel Fournier +9 more
TL;DR: The results reveal the high but different degree of sensitivity of the phagocytosis activity of bivalves with respect to heavy metals, as measured by flow cytometry, and demonstrate that flow cytometers is a potentially useful tool in ecotoxicological monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Steady-state distribution of metals among metallothionein and other cytosolic ligands and links to cytotoxicity in bivalves living along a polymetallic gradient.
Anik Giguère,Yves Couillard,Peter G. C. Campbell,Olivier Perceval,Landis Hare,Bernadette Pinel-Alloul,Jocelyne Pellerin +6 more
TL;DR: The results of the present study contrast markedly with what would have been predicted on the basis of experimental metal exposures, and clearly demonstrate the need to study metal exposure-->bioaccumulation-->effects relationships in natural populations.
