文摘

We report biomarker responses of mussels subjected to earthquake disturbances. Metal concentrations were higher in the digestive gland and the gill than the foot and the mantle. Post-earthquake metal levels in the tissues were similar to pre-earthquake values. Scope for growth was negative post-earthquake for all three sites. Biomarkers were effective at detecting the effects of multiple stressors.
