Abstract:Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with the most carcinogenic effects, has multiple toxic effects on marine bivalves. In this study, we investigated the interference mechanism of B[a]P on the food metabolism (sugars, proteins and sugars), reproductive endocrine and ovarian development in female scallops (Chlamys farreri). Scallops were exposed to different concentrations of B[a]P concentrations of 0, 0.38, 3.8 and 38 μg/L throughout gonadal development. Total cholesterol (T‐CHO) … Show more
