| antioxidant enzymes and peroxisome proliferation in relation to contaminant body burdens of pahs and pcbs in bivalve molluscs, crabs and fish from the urdaibai and plentzia estuaries (bay of biscay). | with the aim of studying levels of antioxidant and peroxisomal enzymes and the structure of peroxisomes in relation to body burdens of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs), mussels mytilus galloprovincialis, oysters crassostrea sp., crabs carcinus maenas and mullets mugil cephalus were sampled in two basque estuaries (bay of biscay): urdaibai (laida, txatxarramendi, arteaga, and downstream a sewage treatment plant-stp) and plentzia. in general, animals sho ... | 2002 | 12062156 |
| occurrence and distribution of metals in mussels from the cantabrian coast. | from february 2004 to april 2006, the concentrations of more than 10 metals in mussels (mytilus galloprovincialis) were measured in 10 stations from galicia to the basque country in 8 different times of sampling. the mean highest concentrations are found for zn [226.8 microg/g, dry weight (d.w.)] followed by mn, as, cu, and co (between 10 and 25 microg/g d.w.). lower mean concentrations are found for se, cr, pb, v, and ni (between 2 and 8 microg/g d.w.) and the lowest are for cd, sn, hg, and sb ... | 2010 | 20143053 |
| spatial and temporal trends of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in wild mussels from the cantabrian coast (n spain) after the prestige oil spill. | polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (pah) levels were determined in tissues of wild mussels (mytilus galloprovincialis) collected at 17 stations along the cantabrian coast (n spain), from navia (asturias) to fuenterrabía (basque country), in order to assess the extent of the environmental impact caused by the prestige oil spill (november 13, 2002). six sampling campaigns were carried out in april, june and november in 2003 and 2004. the comparison of pah data with those obtained earlier in 2000 show ... | 2007 | 17726564 |
| cell and tissue biomarkers in mussel, and histopathology in hake and anchovy from bay of biscay after the prestige oil spill (monitoring campaign 2003). | in order to assess the biological effects of the prestige oil spill (pos), mussels (mytilus galloprovincialis), european hake (merluccius merluccius) and european anchovy (engraulis encrasicolus) were sampled between april and september 2003 in various geographical areas of bay of biscay: galicia, central cantabrian and east cantabrian. in mussels, several cell and tissue biomarkers were measured: peroxisome proliferation as induction of acyl-coa oxidase (aox) activity, lysosomal responses as ch ... | 2006 | 16271373 |
