“…Although not measured here, bacteria originating from the WWTP effluent most probably also induce immune responses such as phagocytosis in mussel haemocytes, as suggested by Canesi et al (2010); this could have further effects on the oxidative status since phagocytic reactions increase cellular ROS production targeted to kill the bacteria, and for that the antioxidant defense needs to be regulated accordingly, i.e., suppressed to ensure high levels of ROS in phagocytic cells and activated to scavenge the ROS afterwards (Philipp et al, 2012). For future work, inclusion of immunotoxicological biomarkers such as total/differential haemocyte counts, viability and phagocytosis activity would provide useful information on the effects of WWTP effluents on mussels (de los Rios et al, 2012;Höher et al, in preparation).…”

The monitoring of anthropogenic chemicals in the aquatic environment including their potential effects on aquatic organisms, is important for protecting life under water, a key sustainable development goal. In parallel with monitoring the concentrations of chemicals of concern, sentinel species are often used to investigate the biological effects of contaminants. Among these, bivalve molluscs such as mussels are filter-feeding and sessile, hence an excellent model system for measuring localized pollution. This study investigates the relationship between the metabolic state of the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) and its physiology in different environments. We developed a computational model based on a reference site (relatively unpolluted) and integrated seasonal dynamics of metabolite relative concentrations with key physiological indicators and environmental parameters. The analysis of the model revealed that changes in metabolite levels during an annual cycle are influenced by water temperature and are linked to gonadal development. This work supports the importance of data-driven biology and its potential in environmental monitoring.
