“…For As, the concentration found in M. galloprovincialis in the present work, was inbetween the low concentrations measured by Shue et al (2014) in bivalves (2.77 mg/kg) collected in the Da-Pen Bay lagoon of Taiwan and the higher concentrations reported by Spada et al (2013) for the mussel (76.17 mg/kg) from the Apulian coast, Southern Italy. Li contents obtained in this study were higher than those reported for Boka Kotorska Bay of Montenegro (Perošević et al 2018). For Mg, S, Si, no value was obtained in the literature data.…”

“…For Mg, S, Si, no value was obtained in the literature data. The obtained Mn levels in our work were higher than those reported for Boka Kotorska Bay, Montenegro (Perošević et al 2018) and Black Sea, Turkey (Tepe and Süer 2016), but lower than those reported for the St. Lawrence River in Canada (Kwan et al 2003), the South coast of Portugal (Bebianno and Machado 1997), Bay of Follonica, Italy (Bargagli et al 1985) and Eastern Black sea, Turkey (Çevik et al 2008). On the other hand, our findings for Mn were in the range of values founded in the Galician coastal marine regions of Spain; Safi coastal of Morocco and Black sea of Turkey; by Beiras et al (2003), Maanan (2007) and Belivermiş et al (2016), respectively.…”

The accumulation levels of elements (Al, As, Li, Mg, Mn, S, Si, Ti, and V) in the soft tissue of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis), collected monthly in 2016, from Junuary to December, from sampling sites of the mussel farming facilities installed in the coastal areas of Al Hoceima, were investigated. The studied element levels were determined by using Inductively Coupled Plasma -Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES 720-ES). Descending order of the average element concentrations in soft tissue of M. galloprovincialis was S > Mg > Si> Al > Mn > Ti > As >V > Li. Element contents (Al, As, Mg, S and V) in tissue of mussels were significantly different (P < 0.05) between seasons, being highest in winter and lowest in summer. Strong correlations were observed between studied elements and chlorophyll a, indicating the importance of food for metal bioaccumulation in mussels in this period of the season. The observed strong correlations for metal levels in tissues of mussels can be explained by their common sources, which are associated with anthropogenic effects. The detected seasonal variations of investigated element concentrations in soft tissues of M. galloprovincialis could be attributed to physicochemical parameters such as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients and food availability, as well as the biological status of the mussel. This study may provide basic information for detecting the current pollution status of investigated elements in Al Hoceima coasts from the Moroccan Mediterranean Sea using M. galloprovincialis as biological indicators.

“…The concentration of Zn in tissues of mussels ranged between 17.58 ± 1.30 mg/kg ww and 29.87 ± 3.37 mg/kg ww. Peroševic et al [ 43 ] reported Zn concentration between 14.8 mg/kg ww and 24.5 mg/kg ww in M. galloprovincialis at three locations in Boka Kotorska in four different seasons in 2005. The FAO/WHO [ 44 ] set a limit to daily human intake for Zn 30 mg/kg.…”

The unique, closed ecosystem of the Black Sea is of significant global importance. The levels and health risk of some trace elements (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn) in wild and farmed mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) collected from the Bulgarian part of the Black Sea were determined and using different approaches such as Estimated Daily Intake (EDI), Target Hazard Quotient (THQ), Hazard Index (HI), Target risk (TR), human health risk levels were assessed. The mean maximum concentrations of the elements Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn in all mussel samples were below the maximum permissible limits (MPLs) except that which exceeded the limit of 2.00 mg/kg ww. Eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) were the major polyunsaturated fatty acids. The fatty acids profile studied mussels showed that the farmed mussels had higher PUFA/SFA ratios, DHA and EPA+DHA content and lower SFA, AI and TI values. The target risk (TR) values for Pb, Cr, Ni and As were calculated, evaluated and showed acceptable or negligible levels. Target hazard quotients (THQs) and hazard index (HI) from elemental intake were below 1 indicated no hazard from consumption. The benefit–risk ratio indicated that wild and cultured M. galloprovincialis are safe for human consumption.

“…The Raman results obtained for soft tissues of mussels collected from three different locations in Boka Kotorska Bay, on the Montenegrin Adriatic coast, are presented along with the results on trace metal concentrations (Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cd, and Hg) in the same samples. Although trace metals have been regularly studied in mussels from the Montenegrin coast [19][20][21][22][23], the combination of data relating to diverse contaminants and obtained by means of different techniques can provide a much more general insight into the degree of environmental pollution from the ecotoxicological perspective, allowing also to identify possible secondary routes of trace metal uptake into mussel tissues. Since the production and human consumption of seafood are increasing worldwide [24,25], the presented analysis of contaminants in mussels and/or other marine organisms constitutes a fundamental step for public health risk assessment.…”

Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) collected at three locations in Boka Kotorska Bay, on the Montenegrin Adriatic coast, were analyzed for the first time by optical and Raman microscopy to detect microplastics (MPs) and other emerging contaminants in their soft tissues. Concentrations of six trace metals (Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cd, and Hg) were also measured in the same samples by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Mussels from a location near the urban area of Kotor were found to exhibit the highest content of MPs and other pollutants originating from anthropogenic sources, while farmed mussels showed higher carotenoid as well as nylon content. The hypothesis of MPs acting as a possible secondary route of trace metals ingress in mussels, a thus far scarcely studied topic, was evaluated based on a comparative analysis of the obtained results. In this context, it was noticed that nylon filaments originating from mussel farming equipment might contribute to higher trace metal content. The results showed that the simultaneous analysis of different contaminants in mussels can be a significant step forward in marine environment pollution monitoring and the assessment of human health risks associated with the consumption of contaminated seafood.
