“…These results are consistent with previous studies conducted in this region. In fact, the pollution in this coast is due essentially to the presence of continuous discharge of heavy metals from local industrial activities (Hamza-Chaffai et al 1997, 1998 and from the phosphogypsum stock (Illou 1999;Serbaji 2000). Several reports have also indicated high metal concentrations in soft tissues of Reditapes decussatus (Smaoui-Damak et al 2003;Hamza-Chaffai and Pellerin 2003) and in the fish Scorpaena porcus (Hamza-Chaffai et al 1995) from this coast.…”

“…Therefore it was observed that the increase in Cu in the soluble fraction was not correlated with MT concentrations [8]. Cu was also shown to increase the lipid peroxidation of membranes in the digestive gland of R. decussatus.…”

“…Several laboratory experiments have been carried out to assess MT induction in R. decussatus exposed to sublethal concentrations of cadmium (100 and 400 µg/l), copper (75 µg/l) and lindane (34.5 µg/l) [4,7,6,8].…”

“…Acetylcholinesterase activity which is known to be inhibited by the presence of organophosphorus compounds and carbamates is considered an exposure biomarker for these substances (Galgani and Bocquené 1989). Some others studies demonstrated that acetylcholinesterase is also inhibited by heavy metals in various organisms (Bocquené et al 1997), in mussels (Najimi et al 1997) and in clams (Hamza-Chaffai et al 1998). In addition to these data on chemical bioaccumulation and biochemical effect, the impact on organisms was also assessed using a general index, the condition index, which reflects the physiological status of the studied animals.…”
