“…Instead of the RfD for the total bromine was presented the existing RfD for bromate. In the case of arsenic, we could use the RfD for the inorganic form that corresponded for total As to 0.3/0.42 = 0.71 μg/kg bw/ day (based on 42 % inorganic/total As according to Chiesa et al, 2018), which is higher than each of our EDI levels at the stations. These elements are included in anthropogenic factors and cause increasing potential risks in mussel consumption.…”

“…PTWI for total arsenic was determined by using the ratio of 42 % inorganic/total for mussels based on the study by Chiesa et al (2018) from the equation: 15 / 0.42 = 35.7 μg/kg bw/week, calculated using MPCR (Table 4) reflected the maximum intake of mussel meat, which a person could eat per week without any health risk (below or at the level of prescribed or calculated PTWI). The MPCR in kg/week could be used for the regulation of potentially safe daily dishes in local coastal regions.…”

The study aimed to contribute to the scarce data on concentrations in the soft tissue of wild mussels growing in coastal cities of South Africa. The intake of 26 micro and macroelements was estimated. The mass fractions of sample sets from 8 sites along the South African coast from the West (Port Nolloth) to the East (Durban) were studied by neutron activation analysis at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Russia). The following elements were identified as potentially hazardous due to high consumption risks: Al, Cr, Co, Zn, As, and I at stations in the Cape Town area (Waterfront, Hout Bay) and Durban. The mean concentrations of these elements among all individuals were 208, 0.8, 0.46, 60, 2.6, and 11 ppm of wet weight, respectively. In the studied mussels, the concentrations of Cr, Zn, As, and Se (ranging between 0.2− 2.8, 14-290, 1.6− 4.6, and 0.31− 2.4 ppm of wet weight, respectively) exceeded maximum permissible levels for fish products. The weekly consumption of more than 250 g of fresh mussels per person could increase the risk for human health by potential intake of such elements as Al, As, and I.

“…A total of 50 mussel and 40 clam samples were collected at the Milan fish market. Nickel was detected in all mussel samples (mean concentration: 960 μg/kg) and in 39 clam samples (mean concentration of the positive samples: 1,230 μg/kg) (Chiesa et al., 2018). In another Italian study, fish and shellfish samples (n = 30/species) of the Gulf of Catania were analysed and mean concentrations ranged between 42 and 196 μg/kg ww (Copat et al., 2018).…”

The European Commission asked EFSA to update its previous Opinion on nickel in food and drinking water, taking into account new occurrence data, the updated benchmark dose (BMD) Guidance and newly available scientific information. More than 47,000 analytical results on the occurrence of nickel were used for calculating chronic and acute dietary exposure. An increased incidence of postimplantation loss in rats was identified as the critical effect for the risk characterisation of chronic oral exposure and a BMDL 10 of 1.3 mg Ni/kg body weight (bw) per day was selected as the reference point for the establishment of a tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 13 lg/kg bw. Eczematous flare-up reactions in the skin elicited in nickel-sensitised humans, a condition known as systemic contact dermatitis, was identified as the critical effect for the risk characterisation of acute oral exposure. A BMDL could not be derived, and therefore, the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level of 4.3 lg Ni/kg bw was selected as the reference point. The margin of exposure (MOE) approach was applied and an MOE of 30 or higher was considered as being indicative of a low health concern. The mean lower bound (LB)/upper bound (UB) chronic dietary exposure was below or at the level of the TDI. The 95th percentile LB/UB chronic dietary exposure was below the TDI in adolescents and in all adult age groups, but generally exceeded the TDI in toddlers and in other children, as well as in infants in some surveys. This may raise a health concern in these young age groups. The MOE values for the mean UB acute dietary exposure and for the 95th percentile UB raises a health concern for nickel-sensitised individuals. The MOE values for an acute scenario regarding consumption of a glass of water on an empty stomach do not raise a health concern.

“…The filtering nature of mussels renders them vulnerable to two important but uncertain expositions: heavy metals and plastics. Mussels accumulate a wide range of heavy metals in their soft tissue (meat) by filtering the water (De Wolf 1975;Ritz et al 1982;Bolognesi et al 1999;Canesi et al 1999;Pempkowiak et al 1999;Štrok & Smodiš 2011;Stankovic et al 2012;Chiesa et al 2018). The transfer through the food web of heavy metals from mussels to other species has been demonstrated, and the consumption of heavy metals has a potential adverse effect on human health (see for example Stankovic et al 2012).…”

In contrast to the increasing aquaculture production of mussels worldwide, production in the European Union (EU) has shown a decreasing trend over the last two decades. Aquaculture production of mussels in the EU peaked in the late 1990s at more than 600 000 tonnes; by 2016, production volume had dropped by 20% to 480 000 tonnes. As mussel production represents more than ⅓ of EU aquaculture production, this decrease is an important contributor to the stagnation of EU aquaculture. Previous studies have suggested diseases, lack of mussel seed (spat), and low profitability as the main causes of the EU mussel production decrease. In this study, we investigate how economic and environmental factors have contributed. Moreover, we examine if the different mussel production techniques (raft, longline, on-bottom, and 'bouchot') have been differently affected, by analysing the economic performance and cost structure evolution for the period 2010-2016. We complement these results with a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis of the EU mussel sector based on expert knowledge.
