A biomonitoring study: trace metals in algae and molluscs from Tyrrhenian coastal areas.
291
TL;DR: Metal concentrations detected in algae and molluscs did not show significant differences among all stations studied, and the hypothesis that the Protected Sea Park would be cleaner than the others must therefore be reconsidered.

Biochemical biomarkers in algae and marine pollution: a review.
M. A. Torres,Marcelo Paes de Barros,Sara Cristina Gonçalves Campos,Ernani Pinto,Satish Rajamani,Richard T. Sayre,Pioi Colepicolo +6 more
TL;DR: The effects of pollutants on the cellular biochemistry of microalgae and the biochemical mechanisms thatmicroalgae use to detoxify or modify pollutants are reviewed and the potential uses ofMicroalgae as bioindicator species as an early sentinel in polluted sites are evaluated.

Bivalve mollusks in metal pollution studies: from bioaccumulation to biomonitoring.
TL;DR: Altered processes and mineral crystallization on the inner shell surface are presented here as a perspective tool for environmental studies because sclerochemistry is in its infancy and cannot be reliably used to provide insights into the pollution history recorded in shells.

Benthic macroalgae as biological indicators of heavy metal pollution in the marine environments: A biomonitoring approach for pollution assessment
TL;DR: The marine coastline environment was found to be enriched with Cd and Zn in comparison to other metals, and the high uptake of metals in green algae and brown algae suggested that these algae may be used as potential biomonitors for heavy metal pollution.

Bioaccumulation of Metals in Tissues of Marine Animals, Part II: Metal Concentrations in Animal Tissues
TL;DR: It has been found that carnivorous species bioaccumulate far greater quantities of metals than herbivores or omnivores, and that metal levels are lower in organisms capable of detoxifying or excreting metals.

Transfer of radionuclides in aquatic ecosystems--default concentration ratios for aquatic biota in the Erica Tool.
TL;DR: The methodologies applied to derive default transfer parameters, collated within the ERICA Tool databases, are described to provide transparency and traceability in the documentation process.

Heavy metals at trace level in edible mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck) from the gulf of Trieste.
TL;DR: The concentration of heavy metals, which are present at trace levels in the edible part of mussels from hatcheries in the gulf of Trieste, is normally or log-normally distributed, according to a statistical test sensitive to asymmetry of the distribution.

Mercury, cadmium and lead levels in marine organisms (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lmk.) collected along the Italian coasts.
TL;DR: The present study takes into account the determination of mercury, cadmium and lead in samples of Mytilus galloprovincialis Lmk collected in 41 sites along the Italian coast, between August 1986-April 1987 and showed that the degree of contamination is low.

Heavy metals and organochlorine residues in marine animals and coastal sediments of the Tirrenean sea around Naples.
TL;DR: Results of this investigation indicate that contamination by the above pollutants is low; the extent of contamination in the bay of Naples, compared to that of the marine park, shows that the level of heavy metals and organochlorine hydrocarbons in the benthic organisms is nearly the same within the two areas, whereas that ofThe sediments of the bay is significantly higher than in the park.

Automated techniques for real-time shipboard determination of dissolved trace metals in marine surface waters
TL;DR: A review of shipboard techniques for determining dissolved trace metals in marine surface waters is presented in this paper, where the authors compare voltammetric, chemiluminescence and colorimetric methods.

Bioaccumulation of metals by the green alga Ulva rigida from Thermaikos Gulf, Greece
S. Haritonidis,Paraskevi Malea +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative abundance of metals in Ulva rigida C. Agardh and in the sediment and seawater were studied at five stations of the Thermaikos Gulf, which is the recipient of domestic and industrial wastes.
