“…In general, mean concentrations of SPCBs, as well as individual CB congeners, were slightly higher in May. Similar observations were reported by Fang et al (2006) andSu arez et al (2013). Seasonal fluctuations are a function of both temporal changes in sample lipid content, related to gametogenesis/spawning cycle, and fluctuations in ambient abundance of contaminants (Carro et al, 2004).…”

“…Therefore, they have been widely used as bioindicators for monitoring marine environmental pollution (Carro et al, 2014;Milun and Zvonari c, 2008;Kljakovi c-Ga spi c et al, 2010). Presence of various chemical contaminants has been reported in several studies investigating wild (Zhang et al, 2012;Bellas et al, 2014;Fern andez et al, 2013) and cultured bivalves (S aenz et al, 2010;Su arez et al, 2013). However, studies have examined the presence of OCPs (Ko zul et al, 2009;Herceg-Romani c et al, 2014) and trace metals (Bogdanovi c et al, 2014;Jovi c and Stankovi c, 2014;Kljakovi c-Ga spi c et al, 2007) in cultured bivalves in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea.…”

“…1 Dendrogram of the cluster analysis of the lipid content of the whole soft tissue of the mussel, with the sampling month as the grouping variable in the bioaccumulation of OCP and PCB. The same study reported that the reproductive cycle of the studied mussels was seasonal and that the lipid content in soft tissue followed this seasonality (Suárez et al 2013). These studies highlight that the local climate in which the sentinel species are sampled should be considered prior to any discussions of the bioaccumulation of OCP and PCB by filter-feeding marine bivalves.…”

To contribute to the use of the tropical brown mussel Perna perna as a sentinel species for organochlorine pesticides (OCP) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), the present study reports data on the toxicokinetics of these compounds in P. perna. Specifically, the authors present data on OCP and PCB bioaccumulation for eight sampling months from three bays (SE Brazil) and two transplant experiments (each 1 month long). Although seasonality is observed in the total lipid content of the whole soft tissue, with summer samples showing higher values, no such seasonality is observed in the OCP and PCB concentrations bioaccumulated by the mussel P. perna. Because no seasonal effect is observed in the annual OCP and PCB concentrations bioaccumulated by P. perna, the use of this species as a sentinel organism to monitor organochlorinated compounds is encouraged. One month of transplantation is not enough to allow the transplanted specimens to reach the concentrations observed in animals reared at the destination site. Nevertheless, P. perna showed a clear tendency to depurate the DDT metabolites p,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDE after 1 month of transplantation.

“…It is known that bivalve molluscs concentrate pollutants to levels above those present in marine water [9,13,14]. Advantages of using mussels to monitor organochlorine pollutants are their wide geographical distribution, sessile lifestyle, easy sampling, tolerance to a considerable range of salinity and rapid accumulation of toxic substances [7,15,16]. In this respect mussels should be considered the priority species to investigate pollutants, using natural populations or transplanted organisms [17].…”

Abstract. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (HCB, DDT and its metabolites) and HCBD in mussels from Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) are aquatic organisms which are immobile so that the concentration of pollutants should primarily be considered as an indication of local levels of organochlorine compounds. Samples were collected from three areas of Black Sea coast of Bulgaria in summer 2015.The fifteen congeners of PCBs, HCB, HCBD, DDT and its metabolites DDE and DDD were performed by gas chromatography system with mass spectrometry detection. The metabolites DDE and DDD were found in all analyzed mussel samples, but PCBs were not detected in any sample. DDE concentrations were found in mussels from 1.09 to 1.63 ng/g wet weight. In mussel total DDT concentrations (2.14 ng/g ww) were found comparable to those in mussels, sampled in 2013 and 2014 (1.87 ng/g ww).The levels of DDTs and polychlorinated biphenyls in mussels from the Black Sea were found comparable to levels measured in the same molluscs from neighbor seas -Mediterranean Sea and Adriatic Sea.
