Article Synopsis
  • * The 96-hour LC value for cadmium was determined to be 3.03 mg L, with chronic tests revealing effects at concentrations as low as 0.20 mg L, demonstrating severe dosedependent impacts on the mussels’ physiological functions.
  • * Key findings included increased levels of antioxidant enzymes indicating oxidative stress, a decrease in energy-related metrics (like respiration and excretion), and a significant reduction in protein, carbohydrate, and lipid levels, all of which suggest serious

The effects of copper (Cu) toxicity on the growth, pigments, protein, carbohydrate, lipid and antioxidant enzyme activities of two endemic microalgae, Chaetoceros calcitrans and Nitzchia closterium from Cochin estuary were studied and compared. The 96 h median inhibition concentration (IC) of Cu for C. calcitrans was 143.
