The effects of bioturbation by tubificids on cadmium (Cd) remobilization and bioavailability from sediment were studied throughout two experiments. With bioturbation, particulate Cd was transitorily released into the overlying water, in correlation with sediment resuspension (maximum of 6.1+/-0.1 microg L(-1) after 6 days). Cd bioaccumulation by the bivalve Corbicula fluminea was very limited (maximum of 1.73+/-0.34 microg g(-1), dw), and independent of the algae diet. In contrast, without bioturbation, the release of dissolved Cd increased with the duration of the experiments (maximum of 9.9+/-0.8 microg L(-1) after 36 days). Cd bioaccumulation by C. fluminea varied according to their diet: low bioaccumulation when no algae were added (2.18+/-0.29 microg g(-1), dw), higher bioaccumulation when algae were added throughout the experiment (8.52+/-1.61 microg g(-1), dw), and the highest bioaccumulation when algae were added only during the last 10 days of the experiment (19.66+/-4.63 microg g(-1), dw).

Totally 128 surficial sediments samples were collected from the coastal wetlands, northeastern Hainan Island and analyzed for their concentrations of 14 elements including Al2O3, Fe2O3, MnO, Cu, Ni, Sr, Zn, V, Pb, Cr, Zr, As, Cd and Hg, TOC and grain sizes. The mean concentrations of trace metals V, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Pb, Cd and Hg were (40.13 +/- 32.

The aim of this study was to elucidate the scientific connotation of Bombyx Batryticatus processing with wheat bran under high temperature. The contents of soluble protein extracted from Bombyx Batryticatus and its processed products and the limited content of AFT in Bombyx Batryticatus and the processed one were compared. The concentration of protein was measured with the Bradford methods and the difference of protein between Bombyx Batryticatus and its processed products was compared by SDS-PAGE analysis.
