Biomarker responses of Bellamya aeruginosa to the chronic stress of cadmium-contaminated sediment
铜锈环棱螺对镉污染沉积物慢性胁迫的生物标志物响应

Sediment toxicity tests have become an important tool for assessing ecological risks of sediment contamination in aquatic ecosystems. A prerequisite for such tests is to identify satisfactory test species. In China,Bellamya aeruginosa is widely distributed as a dominant community member in aquatic ecosystems. In this study,mature B. aeruginosa were exposed for 28 d to sediments artificially spiked with cadmium (Cd) to evaluate their response sensitivity as biomarkers to the chronic stress of Cd-contaminated...
