Cadmium Accumulation and Metallothionein Biosynthesis in Cadmium-Treated Freshwater Mussel Anodonta woodiana
This study investigated the distribution of cadmium (Cd) and the protein level of metallothionein (MT) and examined the relationship of Cd accumulation and the MT concentration in different tissues of freshwater mussel Anodonta woodiana following Cd treatment. The mussels were exposed to Cd (4.21, 8.43, 16.86, 33.72 and 67.45 mg L-1) for 24, 48, 72 and 96 h, respectively. After Cd treatment, th...
متن کاملSeasonal changes in the behaviour and respiration physiology of the freshwater duck mussel, Anodonta anatina.
For low-energy organisms such as bivalves, the costs of thermal compensation of biological rates (synonymous with acclimation or acclimatization) may be higher than the benefits. We therefore conducted two experiments to examine the effect of seasonal temperature changes on behaviour and oxygen consumption. In the first experiment, we examined the effects of seasonal temperature changes on the ...
متن کاملcomparison of zinc and chromium bioaccumulation in the internal organs of freshwater mussel anodonta cygnea (bivalvia: :union:idae)
nowadays, bivalves are used in monitoring levels of heavy metals in aquatic environments. the aim of this study was to investigate bioaccumulation of heavy metals zinc (zn) and chromium (cr) in the internal organs of anodonta cygnea. for this purpose, bivalve specimens were collected from semeskandeh region, sari, and then in laboratory, were exposed to 125 µg l-1 concentrations of each metal f...
متن کاملA hierarchical classification of freshwater mussel diversity in North America
Aim North America harbours the most diverse freshwater mussel fauna on Earth. This fauna has high endemism at the continental scale and within individual river systems. Previous faunal classifications for North America were based on intuitive, subjective assessments of species distributions, primarily the occurrence of endemic species, and do not portray continent-wide patterns of faunal simila...
متن کاملA floating cage system for rearing freshwater mussels Anodonta anatina and Unio mancus in Piedmont region (NW Italy)
This research represents the first attempt in Italy to develop a cage system for adult freshwater mussel stocking, for extensive farming, that was realized from 2003 to 2005 in NW Italy. Two autochthonous species of Italian freshwater mussel were used: Anodonta anatina and Unio mancus. 5133 mussels were collected and successively stocked in floating cages in 5 different sites in a lake. This st...
