520 |a"This paper describes a method for measuring the metal binding protein, metallothionein in benthic invertebrates, in particular the worm, Tubifex tubifex, and the insect larvae, Chironomus ripanius. Aside from having a role in regulating cellular levels of essential metals, metallothionein has been shown to bind to nonessential metals to prevent possible damage to the cell. Previous studies have found that the metallothionein concentration in some organisms, increases after exposure to elevated levels of metals in the environment. Therefore metallothionein concentration has been proposed as tool for monitoring metal exposure and effects in aquatic organisms"--Management Perspective.
