The effects of carbamate fungicide TATTU was studied in fish Carassius auratus gibelio and bivalve mollusc Anodonta cygnea from reference (R) and chronically polluted (P) sites after ten days of exposure by measuring a set of biomarkers of general stress and specific effects. Stress response was more dependent on the history of the population and animal species than on the nature of the contaminant.
