Effects of water-borne copper on the survival, antioxidant status, metallothionein-I mRNA expression and physiological responses of the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis (Decapoda: Brachyura) larvae

The lethal concentration of water-borne copper in Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis larvae was tested by exposing the animals to 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.8 mg Cu L-1 at 20°C for 96 h. The 96-h median lethal concentration (LC50) and its corresponding 95% confident interval was estimated on zo...
