Fig. 6 Biomonitoring of pollution in the Ebro Delta with Daphnia magna and Corbicula fluminea. (a) Map of sampling sites. Site 1 is out of the figure limits, close to Amposta (see Fig. 1). (b) Assays for neurotoxic activity (ChE and CbE) and D. magna feeding). Note the different pattern for the microcrustacean (sensitive to insecticides), which show a maximal toxic (inhibitory) effect in May and June, and the mollusk (relatively resistant), (c) Oxidative stress markers. These markers showed a similar response for both species with maximal effects (activation) in May (month 5) and August (month 8). Data from [43] and [44], Dm and Cf identify markers from D. magna and C. fluminea, respectively...

Differential tissue analysis is not frequent in studies involving small invertebrates, such as bivalves, polychaetes, and gastropods, since, as discussed earlier, their diminutive size poses challenging methodological problems. Nonetheless, examples of the usefulness of this approach can be found in the literature. One study compared the specific tissue distribution of cadmium and two forms of mercury in the clam Corbicula fluminea when exposed to contaminated water or sediments 85 the metal distributions in five selected organs were reported to display strong specificities, in accordance...
