Abstract excerpt
Genetic and ecophysiological responses of oyster, Crassostrea gigas, populations to environmental stress were investigated in three highly contaminated French estuaries (the Gironde, Loire and Vilaine) and compared to a control, the Belon estuary. A strong response in both metallothionein CgMT4 mRNA expression, as determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, and amount of protein, as determined by ELISA tests, was...
