Description:   The resistance, accumulation, and detoxification of metals by Chironomidae living in metal-contaminated environments was studied. Mechanisms of Chironomus metal resistance, the accumulating abilities and deposition of metals in Chironomid larvae, the passage of metals from larvae to fish, and the importance of Chironomid detoxification to the ecosystem was discussed.
