Ruditapes decussatus and Ruditapes philippinarum exposed to cadmium: toxicological effects and bioaccumulation patterns

Since differences in metal accumulation may exist between bivalve species, the aim of this study was to assess the impact of cadmium (Cd) on Ruditapes decussatus and Ruditapes philippinarum. For this, the Cd accumulation, mortality rates and biochemical responses were analysed in the two species aft...
