Inheritance of mercury tolerance in the aquatic oligochaete Tubifex tubifex.

Environmental toxicology and chemistry - 1 Sept 2003

Vidal Dora Elva, Horne Alex John

Abstract excerpt

Resistance to contaminants is an important yet unmeasured factor in sediment toxicity tests. The rate at which mercury resistance develops and its genetic persistence in the oligochaete worm Tubifex tubifex were studied under laboratory conditions. Worms were raised for four generations under two...
