Abstract

For the quantification of stress effects, several methods and systems have been developed. Among others, biochemical techniques seem to be very promising. The following paper deals with the applicability of the taurine-glycine ratio as a biochemical stress index. The effects of heavy metals (Cd, Cu) as well as starvation have been investigated in the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis.
