Sažetak
The influence of two biometric parameters on metallothionein (MT) level in the cytosol of mussel's whole soft tissue was studied over the period of one year, as well as the correlation between the cytosolic levels of five metals (Cd, Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe) and MTs. MT level in the cytosol significantly depends on the mussel's physiological changes, but also positively correlates with Cd and Mn content. The correlation with Cd reflects the known Cd affinity for binding to MTs, while correlation of MTs with Mn is probably the reflection of the strong influence of soft tissue condition index on both parameters.
