“…For Mali Ston Bay, the average contribution of DDE:DDD:DDT was 59.7%:24%:20.3% and 61%:20.1%:18.9% for 1-and 2-year-old mussels, respectively (Figure 5). The prevailed contribution of p,p -DDE is attributed to its high chemical stability, hydrophobia, long half-life, and persistence in abiotic and biotic aquatic compartments [35]. Similar findings were reported by Ramu et al [36], but a difference was found in mussels from Korea (29.6%:43%:27.5%) [37].…”

The accumulation of organochlorines (OCs) in mussel tissue depends on the physiological and biochemical status of the organism and its interaction with the environment. Mytilus galloprovincialis, 2- and 1-year-old mussels, sampled from Mali Ston Bay, a reference area, and transplanted to Kaštela Bay in cages, were used for the assessment of OC levels and influence of biological parameters on accumulation. Results of bimonthly exposures during one year highlighted that OC accumulation decreases with increasing mussel age. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and p,p′-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (p,p′-DDTs) increased, while organochlorine pesticide (OCP; i.e., HCB, lindane, heptachlor, and aldrin) variations were very low. Statistical analysis generally did not confirm the significant effect of lipid content on the accumulation of OCs in mussel tissue. OC levels in mussels were below the maximum permitted levels for human consumption (European Commission).

“…Brazil allowed the production of aldrin until 1990 and its use as wood preservative until 2000, while dieldrin has no register of use in Brazil but its production for export occurred until 1998occurred until (MMA, 2015Almeida et al, 2007). However, since aldrin and dieldrin have been reported in crabs (Souza et al, 2008) and in mussels (Galvão et al, 2015) from Southeastern Brazil, the occurrence of the emerging pollutant Dec 603 in whitemouth croaker in this region could be associated to the production and use of these pesticides.…”

The whitemouth croaker (Micropogonias furnieri) is one of the most commercially important species along the Atlantic coast of South America. Moreover, some of its biological traits (long life span, inshore feeding, high trophic position) make this species a suitable sentinel of coastal pollution. Here, we investigated contamination by multiple legacy and emerging organic pollutants, such as brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), in whitemouth croakers from two estuaries (Guanabara and Sepetiba Bays) located in industrialized and urbanized areas in Rio de Janeiro State, Southeastern Brazil. Furthermore, we assessed how biological and ecological features could explain the observed contamination patterns. Regarding brominated flame retardants, concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) varied from 7.6 to 879.7 pg g −1 wet weight (w.w.), with high contribution of tetra-, penta-, hexa-and deca-BDEs. The sum of chlorinated flame retardants (dechlorane-related compounds, ΣDRC) ranged from bLOD to 41.1 pg g −1 w.w., mostly represented by Dechlorane 603 and Dechlorane Plus (DP). Concentrations of PCDDs and PCDFs varied from bLOD to 1.7 pg g −1 w.w., while the Toxic Equivalent

“…Therefore, they are extensively used as sentinels for chemical pollution monitoring in natural environments (Hellou and Law, 2003;OSPAR, 2016). Despite several studies showed that changes in environmental conditions (i. e. water temperature) or the annual reproductive cycle of mussels, may influence their response to chemical pollution (Costa et al, 2008;González-Fernández et al, 2016;Maulvault et al, 2016;Serra-Compte et al, 2018b) few studies considered seasonality when assessing bioconcentration of contaminants on these organisms (Claudi and Mackie, 1994;Costa et al, 2008;Galvao et al, 2015). On the other hand, the presence of antibiotics in marine mussels may pose a risk for consumers such as allergy and toxicity (Cabello, 2006).…”

Antibiotics accumulation in aquatic organisms may be of great concern from an ecological point of view but also from a human perspective, especially when they are accumulated in edible animals like marine mussels. In this work, mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were exposed to sulfamethoxazole antibiotic (SMX) at 10 µg/L during 96 h, followed by 24 h of depuration. The experiment was carried out at summer and winter conditions. SMX showed a bioconcentration factor in mussel of 1.5 L/Kg (dry weight) and 69% of the compound was eliminated from the 1 organism in 24 h. The metabolomics approach revealed alterations in amino acids levels (aspartate, phenylalanine, valine and tryptophan) pinpointing disturbances in osmotic regulation and energy metabolism. Besides, the levels of some nucleotides (guanosine and inosine) and a carboxylic acid were also affected. However, SMX exposed mussels did not show any significant alteration in the enzymatic activities related to the xenobiotic metabolism and oxidative stress. Moreover, some of the changes observed in mussel's metabolites suggested alterations in mussel's organoleptic characteristics that can affect its quality as seafood commodity. Overall, our results showed that SMX exposure to marine mussels may have ecological implications by provoking sub-lethal effects to exposed organisms. Nevertheless, no risk for consumers derived from mussel ingestion is expected due to the low bioconcentration capacity of SMX and fast depuration in this seafood type.
