Exposure to a variety of environmental factors such as temperature, pH, oxygen and salinity
may influence the oxidative status in aquatic organisms. The present review article focuses …

Osmoregulation is by no means an energetically cheap process, and its costs have been
extensively quantified in terms of respiration and aerobic metabolism. Common products of …

Research programmes on oxidative stress and hormesis are wide ranging. Biomedical and
toxicological sciences have traditionally centralised such research, but in the last years we …

The oxidative stress theory of ageing predicts that animals living longer will have less
cumulative oxidative damage together with structural characteristics that make them more …

The individual ages of bivalve molluscs can be inferred from the age rings laid down every
year in the shell, especially in species inhabiting areas with seasonal variability in …

The role of metazoan respiration in aquatic system energetics has been neglected to some
extent, particularly because limited resources hamper the simultaneous determination of …

Atlantic surfclams (Spisula solidissima), among the largest extant non‐symbiotic clam
species in the world, live in dense aggregations along the Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) …

In Arctica islandica, a long lifespan is associated with low metabolic activity, and with a
pronounced tolerance to low environmental oxygen. In order to study metabolic and …

The degree to which evidence of range shifts in shelf biomass dominants, Atlantic surfclams
and ocean quahogs, as a function of climate change is examined by comparing the …

The blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) has recently expanded its northern distribution in the Arctic
and is therefore considered to be a sensitive indicator of climate changes in this region. In …
