A multibiomarker approach in the clam Ruditapes decussatus to assess the impact...
Cravo, Alexandra; Pereira, C.; Gomes, Tânia; Cardoso, Cátia; Serafim, M.A.; Almeida, Cheila; Rocha, T.; Lopes, Belisandra; Company, Rui; Medeiros, A.The Ria Formosa lagoon is an ecosystem whose water quality reflects the anthropogenic influence upon the surrounding areas. In this lagoon, the clam Ruditapes decussatus has a great economical importance and has been widely used as a biomonitor. A multibiomarker approach (d-aminolevulinic acid dehy- dratase, metallothionein, lipid peroxidation, acetylcholinesterase, alkali-labile phosphates, DNA damage) was appli...

Almeida, CheilaThe hermit crabs population of Algarve Coast on soft bottom, until 30 meters depth, between Faro and Portim?o, was analysed within the scope of a project on the biologic characterisation of the sea bed. Samples were made with a beam trawl. Weight and morphometric data were taken from the specimens as well from their associated shells with the objective to characterise the shell use. Eleven species were identifi...
