| dna adducts as indicators of genotoxic exposure in indigenous and transplanted mussels, mytilus edulis l. from icelandic coastal sites. | indigenous mussels, mytilus edulis, were collected at sites with supposed different amounts of pollution; reykjavík harbour, keflavík harbour, grafarvogur and hvalfjördur (reference), along the south-western coast of iceland in march 2000. mussels from hvalfjördur and reykjavík harbour were also collected in august the same year. additionally, mussels were transplanted from the reference site to reykjavík harbour for 6 weeks during both winter and summer for comparison. dna adducts were analysed ... | 2002 | 11943615 |
| lysosomal responses and metallothionein induction in the blue mussel mytilus edulis from the south-west coast of iceland. | it has recently been emphasized that high levels of inorganic and organic micropollutants (particularly organometals, pops and pahs) may be present in coastal waters at high latitudes, stressing the need to evaluate the effects of contaminants on marine organisms from sub-arctic zones. with this aim, specimens of the blue mussel mytilus edulis were sampled in polluted and reference areas along the south-west coast of iceland in july 2004. samples were collected from the intertidal zone at three ... | 2007 | 17215043 |
