Bu çalışmada, 24 ve 96 saat süre ile 10 ve 30 µg/L subletal bakır pritiyona (CuPT) maruz kalan denizel kirliliğin indikatör canlılarından kara midyelerin (Mytilus galloprovincialis) total hemosit sayıları üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Toplam hemosit sayısı (THS) sağlık göstergesi ve stres indikatörü olarak kullanılan bir parametredir. Yapılan mikroskobik sayımlar sonunda Bakır pritiyona maruz kalan midyelerde toplam hemosit sayıları kontrol grubuna göre azaldığı belirlenmiştir.
In this study, the effect of Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) which accumulate contaminants in the marine environment exposed to 20 and 40 µg/Lsublethal zinc pyrithion (ZnPT) at high levels for 48 and 96 hours on total hemocyte counts was determined. Total hemocyte count is a good bioindicator to assess the effects of environmental pollutants . It was determined that total hemocyte counts were increased in mussels exposed to zinc pyrithione when compared to the control group (p<0.05). It has been found that this substance, which has different usage areas and contaminate aquatic environment, negatively effect the mussels even in low concentrations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
