The literature on metallothioneins (MT) and metallothionein-like proteins (MTLP) in aquatic
invertebrates is large and increasing, and yet inconsistencies and confusion remain, not …

The crustacean gill is a multi-functional organ, and it is the site of a number of physiological
processes, including ion transport, which is the basis for hemolymph osmoregulation; acid …

Engineered nano-sized Cu oxide particles are extensively used in diverse applications.
Because aquatic environments are the ultimate “sink” for all contaminants, it is expected that …

We use published data on the different patterns of the bioaccumulation of zinc by three
crustaceans, the caridean decapod Palaemon elegans, the amphipod Orchestia …

Crustaceans, like all aquatic invertebrates, take up and accumulate metals from a wide
range of sources and the trace metal concentrations within their tissues and bodies show …

The quality of aquatic systems is threated by the huge amount of chemicals dispersed in the
environment. Anthropogenic activities are one of the main causes of pollution by metals …

The fate and effects of CuO nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were examined in endobenthic
species (Scrobicularia plana, Hediste diversicolor), under environmentally realistic …

Polychaete worms (Hediste diversicolor) originating from a strongly metal-contaminated
area (Restronguet Creek) and a relatively clean site (Blackwater estuary) were exposed to a …

The effect of graded concentrations of copper was analyzed at morphological and
cytological levels on two species of Ammonia (foraminifera) often found in polluted areas …

Although it is reported that metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, which are among the most
rapidly commercialized materials, can cause toxicity to organisms, their fate in the …
