| polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and ecotoxicological characterization of seawater, sediment, and mussel mytilus galloprovincialis from the gulf of rijeka, the adriatic sea, croatia. | the pattern of spatial distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) in seawater, sediment, and mussels, potential toxicity of different matrices, and mussel anoxic survival from six sampling sites of the gulf of rijeka, the adriatic sea, croatia was examined. the total concentrations of 10 pahs vary from below detection limit to 305 ng/l in seawater, from 213 to 695 microg/kg dry weight in sediment and from 49.2 to 134 ng/g wet weight in mussel tissue. combustion is the principal sour ... | 2007 | 17354040 |
| lysosomal membrane stability and metallothioneins in digestive gland of mussels (mytilus galloprovincialis lam.) as biomarkers in a field study. | the lysosomal membrane destabilization and the metallothionein content in the digestive gland cells of mussels (mytilus galloprovincialis lam.), collected along the east coast of the north adriatic (istrian and kvarnerine coast, croatia), were examined over a period of four years (1996-1999). the lysosomal membrane stability, as a biomarker of general stress, showed that the membrane labilization period in mussels from polluted, urban- and industrial-related areas was significantly decreased (p ... | 2001 | 11827125 |
