چکیده
tons of oxides in 2003 [3]. However, this growing use of REEs is accompanied by enrichment to the environment [4]. Indeed, REE senter the groundwater and eventually migrate into rivers and lakes [5] and reach humans through trophic transfer [6, 7]. Despite their widespread applications, environmental risks related to REEs have received little attention which explains the paucity of data about their bioavailability and ecotoxicological impact. Thus, more research on the environmental impacts and biological effects of REE sis required [8].

متن کاملEffects of water depth on survival, condition and stable isotope values of three invasive dreissenid species in a deep freshwater lake
To examine the effects of depth on the performance of the freshwater dreissenid species Dreissena polymorpha and D. rostriformis bugensis, and the brackish water dreissenid, Mytilopsis leucophaeata, a controlled experiment lasting four months was conducted in a manmade freshwater lake in the Netherlands. The three species used in the experiment were collected from other water bodies in the Neth...
متن کاملChromosome Aberrations Induction in Freshwater Mussel Dreissena polymorpha on 3-Methylcholanthrene Exposure
The influence of 3-methylcholanthrene to zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) larvae was studied. The artificial spawning of zebra mussels was used for obtaining larvae. Two different concentrations of 3-methylcholanthrene were used. The chromosome analysis showed a significant increase in chromosome aberrations (CA) at the higher concentration of the compound. The resistance of zebra mussel lar...
متن کاملThe Invasive Bivalves Dreissena Polymorpha and Limnoperna Fortunei: Parallels, Contrasts, Potential Spread and Invasion Impacts
We contrast ecological and life history traits of the well studied freshwater invader, the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha), with the lesser known invasive golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) to compare salient biological traits and environmental limits, and to predict the potential spread and ecosystem impacts ofL. fortunei in areas where it is introduced. Both species are sessile, byssate ...
متن کاملGenotoxicity assessment and detoxification induction in Dreissena polymorpha exposed to benzo[a]pyrene.
The use of DNA adduct analysis has previously focused on the use of marine organisms for biomonitoring, whereas similar investigations in freshwater organisms are sparse. In that context, we have investigated the relevance of DNA adducts as biomarkers of genotoxicity in the freshwater mussels Dreissena polymorpha. The objective of the present study is to determine the stability of DNA adducts i...
