Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
| The scope of this program is the estimation of pollution in Thermaikos Gulf using cellular and molecular biomarkers in tissues of mussels. Mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis were collected from 4 stations in Thermaikos Gulf and one station in Strymonikos Gulf (Fig. 1) every six months. Mussels were sampled from Aggelochori (cultured population), Peraia (natural population), from a natural population located near the Outlet tube of the sewage treatment plant of Kalohori, as well as from cultured populations in Halastra. Mussels were also sampled from a cultured population in Olympiada located in Strymonikos Gulf, which was selected as a reference station. The biomarkers which were evaluated in the digestive gland of mussels were a) lysosomal membrane stability b)neutral red retention assay c) metallothioneins content and d) acetylcholinesterase activity. |
