Mercury accumulation in the clam, Galatea paradoxa (Born 1778) at the Volta estuary, Ghana.
The concentration of mercury in the tissues of the clam, Galatea paradoxa at in the Volta estuary, Ghana, were analysed over an 18-month period, from March 2008 to August 2009. The concentrations were well below the International Human Consumption Advisory Limit of THg (0.5 μg/g wet weight). The concentrations in the tissues of the different clam size classes were between 6 and 18 times lower t...
متن کاملHabitat Description of the Threatened Freshwater Clam, Galatea paradoxa (Born 1778) at the Volta Estuary, Ghana
This research was conducted to at two of the few remaining habitats of the threatened freshwater clam (Galatea paradoxa) at the Volta Estuary in Ghana to describe the current state of the clam habitat with respect to the physicochemical water parameters and the characterize the bottom sediment on which they thrive. The research was carried out over an 18-month period with the aim of facilitatin...
متن کاملPopulation structure of the blood clam (Tegillarca granosa) in China based on microsatellite markers.
The blood clam, Tegillarca granosa, is widely cultivated in China. We isolated 6 microsatellite loci from T. granosa and used them to investigate genetic diversity and population structure of 5 widely distributed populations of blood clam collected from eastern and southeastern China. The allele number per locus varied from 4 to 9, and the polymorphism information content value was 0.301 to 0.8...
متن کاملTranscriptome analysis of sex-related genes in the blood clam Tegillarca granosa
BACKGROUND Blood clams (Tegillarca granosa) are one of the most commercial shellfish in China and South Asia with wide distribution in Indo-Pacific tropical to temperate estuaries. However, recent data indicate a decline in the germplasm of this species. Furthermore, the molecular mechanisms underpinning reproductive regulation remain unclear and information regarding genetic diversity is limit...
متن کاملStructure and immune expression analysis of hemoglobin genes from the blood clam Tegillarca granosa.
Hemoglobin (Hb) is the major protein component of erythrocytes in animals with red blood, although it can serve additional functions beyond the transport of oxygen. The blood clam (Tegillarca granosa) is one of the few mollusks that has Hb, although the structure and function of molluskan Hbs remain unclear. We characterized two unique and highly compartmentalized blood clam hemoglobin genes, T...
