摘要: Nephrops norvegicus were exposed simultaneously to cadmium, copper and zinc over an 18-day period. Exposure concentrations control, 1, 5 25 μg litre−1 for cadmium 8, 40 200 zinc. Concentrations of copper, metallothionein measured in homogenates both the gill hepatopancreas. Quantification was carried out by differential pulse polarography. Cadmium increased significantly hepatopancreas male female animals response increases exposure concentration. In contrast, concentration gills males, but not females. hepatopancreas, neither nor resulted significant changes these metals. Metallothionein relation metal males females positively correlated. Copper also showed positive relationships with MT This study suggested that MTs could be used as a sensitive tool detect contamination lobsters, although this true
