“…As these elements are trapped in complexed forms or ligands, their bioavailability in seawater is strongly reduced, limiting their insertion in the oyster ionic pumps leading to the mineralization locus. These bioavailability restrictions of REEs have already been demonstrated in the freshwater mussel Corbicula fluminea for Gd (Merschel and Bau, 2015) and heavy REEs in Mytilus edulis (Ponnurangam et al, 2016). Another explanation can be advanced regarding the technique used.…”

“…It has been demonstrated that the seawater composition in REEs and yttrium is at least partially recorded in carbonate materials, such as ooids (Li et al, 2019), brachiopod shells (Zaky et al, 2015(Zaky et al, , 2016, foraminifera tests (Osborne et al, 2017), and coral skeletons (Sholkovitz and Shen, 1995). In addition, the anthropogenic REE contamination of the Rhine (Germany) has been demonstrated by the shell composition of freshwater mussels (Merschel and Bau, 2015). The reconstruction of the REE and Y fingerprints in a coastal environment from mollusc shells could therefore be useful, not only to monitor potential contaminations from anthropic activities (Le Goff et al, 2019), but also as a provenance proxy for quality control of cultured organisms prior to human consumption Morrison et al, 2019).…”

Indeed, public interest is rising regarding the origin of food for various reasons including decreased confidence in the quality and safety of the remote food supply (Kelly et al, 2005;Gopi et al, 2019).…”

Rare earth elements in oyster shells: provenance discrimination and potential vital effects

Abstract. Rare earth elements (REEs) and yttrium in seawater originate from atmospheric fallout, continental weathering, and transport from rivers, as well as hydrothermal activity. Previous studies have reported the use of REE and Y measurements in biogenic carbonates as a means to reconstruct these surface processes in ancient times. As coastal seawater REE and Y concentrations partially reflect those of nearby rivers, it may be possible to obtain a regional fingerprint of these concentrations from bivalve shells for seafood traceability and environmental monitoring studies. Here, we present a dataset of 297 measurements of REE and Y abundances by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) from two species (Crassostrea gigas and Ostrea edulis). We measured a total of 49 oyster specimens from six locations in France (Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea). Our study reports that there is no significant difference in concentrations from shell parts corresponding to winter and summer periods for both species. Moreover, interspecific vital effects are reported from specimens from both species and from the same locality. REE and Y profiles as well as t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding processing (t-SNE; a discriminant statistical method) indicate that REE and Y measurements from C. gigas shells can be discriminated from one locality to another, but this is not the case for O. edulis, which presents very similar concentrations in all studied localities. Therefore, provenance studies using bivalve shells based on REEs and Y have to first be tested for the species. Other methods have to be investigated to be able to find the provenance of some species, such as O. edulis.

“…[7][8][9][10] Corbicula fluminea, commonly known as the Asian clam, is a freshwater species native to Southeast Asia, but now spread worldwide. 11 Over the last century, this species invaded vast regions of Europe, North and South America, 12 its dispersal potential being linked to high reproduction capacity and tolerance to a range of conditions. This pest can constitute a serious ecological and economic problem.…”

BACKGROUND Corbicula fluminea is an invasive freshwater clam with strong environmental and economic impact. Management of this pest should include its application, thus biofiltration by C. fluminea was successfully tested for the treatment of winery wastewater. Fenton's process was used in order to reduce the initial effluent toxicity. RESULTS Clam mortality was observed to significantly decrease when exposed to Fenton‐treated samples compared with untreated wastewater. Although COD depletion by oxidation was strongly affected by the reactant concentration applied, the toxicity of the output effluent did not change markedly even when higher iron and hydrogen peroxide loads were used. Biofiltration led to COD abatements near 100% both when applied to raw and Fenton‐treated effluents. However, for the raw effluent significant COD removal occurred only after an initial period where the organic load remained unchanged. CONCLUSION It seems advisable to integrate biofiltration with Fenton's peroxidation as a pre‐treatment. The results discussed here support the integration of C. fluminea in wastewater treatment as a potential contribution to pest management. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry

“…With mineral exploitation and increasing use as a strategic resource, REEs will inevitably enter the environment, especially aquatic environment (Cui et , in their tissues, and oysters were suggested as a bioindicator for REEslevel in marine environment due to their high potential of REEs enrichment (Zhang et al, 2009); the sediments passing from the Volga delta could enrich various REEs except europium (Eu) (Sval'nov et al, 2011); and the freshwater bivalve Corbiculafluminea sampled from the Rhine River of Europe had incorporated La andsamarium (Sm) in their shelves (Merschel and Bau, 2015).…”

Ce 3+ is a potential antagonist of Cd 2+ due to their similar ionic radius. Its effect on the bioaccumulation of Cd 2+ in pacific oyster Crassostreagigaswas explored through laboratory experiments. The oysters were exposed to 5, 10 and 25 μmol/LCe(NO 3 ) 3 in the presence of 25 μg/L Cd 2+ (0.22 μmol/L) for 12 days and the concentrations of Cd, Ca, Zn as well as Cu were indicated in the whole soft tissues and separate organs. Ce 3+ in all the three doses significantly inhibited Cd 2+ bioaccumulation in the oysters on day 12 and the inhibition ratios reached 30%, 31% and 41% respectively. Organ-level analysis revealed that Ce 3+ possibly exerted its inhibitory action by delaying the saturated absorption of Cd 2+ in the gill. Ce 3+ in all the three doses antagonized the negative effects of Cd 2+ on Ca concentration and restored the its level to the normal range on day 12, but 25 μmol/L Ce 3+ decreased the Zn and Cu concentrations by up to 27% and 88% respectively. It was concluded that Ce 3+ could markedly inhibitthe Cd 2+ bioaccumulation of Crassostreagigasand the presence of Ce 3+ must be considered in marine pollution assessment by using oysters as the bioindicator.
