Ficopomatus enigmaticus larval development assay: an application for toxicity a...
Oliva, M.; Manzini, C.; Pittaluga, G. Bontà; Kozinkova, L.; De Marchi, L.; Freitas, R.; Fabi, G.; Pretti, C.Ficopomatus enigmaticus is a serpulid polychaete, reef-forming, dioecious gamete spawner throughout different seasons and in different salinity conditions. Due to these characteristics, its candidacy as a model organism to monitor both marine and brackish matrices was assessed. Marine sediments collected in a polluted area near the port of Ancona (Italy) were used as case study. Besides the chemical characteriz...
