Embryos and larva of bivalves are used frequently as sentinel organisms in ecotoxicological bioassays for the evaluation of seawater quality. Indeed, they are very sensitive to pollutants and provide a fast response. The embryo toxicity bioassay with the bivalve mollusc Crassostrea gigas was used to...
