Comparison of Bioaccumulation and Biomarker Responses in Dreissena polymorpha and D. bugensis After Exposure to Resuspended Sediments
The zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha is widely used as sentinel organism for the assessment of environmental contamination in freshwater environments.

Zusammenfassung: | The zebra mussel
Dreissena polymorpha
is widely used as sentinel organism for the assessment of environmental contamination in freshwater environments. However, in the River Rhine (Germany), the
D. polymorpha
population is declining, whereas the closely related quagga mussel
D. bugensis
is found in high numbers at some sites. In the present laboratory study,
D. polymorpha
and
D. bugensis
were exposed to resuspended native sediments for ≤2 weeks. Wet sediments ( |
