The short-term effects of coastal untreated effluents from Ushuaia Bay, Beagle Channel, on the biochemical and physiological biomarkers of Mytilus chilensis were assessed. An integrated biomarker response (IBR) index was calculated as a helpful tool to represent the general stress of the experimenta...
