Journal ArticleDOI

Cholinesterase activity as potential biomarker in two bivalves.

TL;DR: The in vitro and in vivo sensitivities of the ChEs activity toward two well known pesticides: carbaryl and methylparathion are comparable to that observed in fishes but less than that found in crustaceans.
Journal ArticleDOI

One-year monitoring survey of organic compounds (PAHs, PCBs, TBT), heavy metals and biomarkers in blue mussels from the Arcachon Bay, France

TL;DR: The strong intraspecies variability of biological responses could be due to genetic differences of mussels from the Arcachon Bay, and underline the need to integrate these compounds in biomonitoring of highly PAH-polluted areas such as harbours in order to avoid misinterpretation of the biological responses observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cholinesterases from the marine mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis Lmk. and M. edulis L. and from the freshwater bivalve Corbicula fluminea Müller

TL;DR: Surprisingly, these cholinesterases were poorly inhibited by organophosphorous compounds compared to enzymes from other sources, which suggests that these bivalves could be used as a biomarker for acute rather than chronic contaminations by anticholineterase insecticides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scoring approach based on fish biomarkers applied to French river monitoring

TL;DR: A multimarker pollution index was calculated for each sampling site as the sum of the response index of the five measured biomarkers (pollution index) and sorting was established by ranging the sites from lightly to highly contaminated locations.
