Immunomodulation in Blue Mussels (Mytilus edulis and Mytilus trossulus) Exposed to Municipal Effluent in Eastern Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The effects on the immune response of the mussels Mytilus edulis and Mytilus trossulus from of life-time exposure to marine pollution found in an industrial shipping port with a military history (Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada) were investigated. Parameters measured included phagocytic activity, cellular production of hydrogen peroxide, number of circulating haemocytes, and cellular viability. Mussels sampled within Halifax Harbour had significantly reduced phagocytic activity and significantly reduced production of hydrogen peroxide in comparison with mussels sampled from a reference site outside of Halifax Harbour, indicating that pollution induced immunomodulation. No significant differences were found in number of circulating haemocytes or in cellular viability between mussels sampled within Halifax Harbour and mussels sampled outside Halifax Harbour. Results are discussed in terms of using a multi-assay approach for monitoring environmental pollution.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
