    abstract = {This research aimed to investigate the accumulation of Cadmium 
  (Cd) and the antioxidant defense system (Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase 
  (CAT) and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx)) in gill and digestive gland of <I>Mizuhopecten 
  yessoensis</I> exposed to Cd (final Cd doses of 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mg L<SUP>-1</SUP>) 
  for 14 days. The uptake of Cd in both tissues via seawater displayed a simple 
  linear relationship with the exposure of Cd concentration and a curvilinear 
  change with time of extending. The maximal accumulation was observed at day 
  10 in gill in the 0.2 mg L<SUP>-1</SUP> group (134.20 &#956;g g<SUP>-1</SUP>) 
  and day 14 in digestive gland in the 0.1 mg L<SUP>-1</SUP> group (109.20 &#956;g 
  g<SUP>-1</SUP>). The activities of SOD, CAT and GPx attained peak values after 
  short exposure time at day 1 or 3 (except for CAT values in digestive gland 
  and GPx value in gill in low Cd concentration). The main antioxidant enzyme 
  in <I>M. yessoensis</I> is GPx in gill but CAT in digestive gland and the main 
  detoxification tissue dealing with oxyradicals is digestive gland. These results 
  provide valuable information of Cd accumulation and antioxidant defense mechanism 
  in cadmium-stressed <I>M. yessoensis</I> and SOD, CAT, GPx could be useful as 
  biomarkers in predicting heavy metal pollution in scallop aquaculture.}
