“…Compared to progress made on Western world seaweed species, much less is known for their Eastern relatives, despite the need to identify cosmopolitan bio-monitor to allow intra-specific comparisons of bio-availabilities between geographical areas (Rainbow 1995). The bio-monitoring potential of seaweed species from the Eastern world include a few case-studies from China (Caixue et al 2010;Zhang et al 2014), India (Chakraborty et al 2014;Kumar et al 2009), and Russia (Khristoforova and Kozhenkova 2002). For instance, brown algae (Padina gymnospora and Dictyota bartayresiana) and green algae (Ulva lactuca and Enteromorpha intestinalis) in the Gulf of Kutch (India) were suggested as bio-monitors for Cd, Ni, Cr, Cu, Zn and Pb (Chakraborty et al 2014), as well as Gracilaria conferuoides in the Liusha Bay of South China Sea for As, Cu, Pb, Cr and Fe (Caixue et al 2010), Cladophoropsis zollingeri for Fe in the mangrove area of South China Sea (Zhang et al 2014).…”

Seaweeds are good bio-monitors of heavy metal pollution and have been included in European coastal monitoring programs. However, data for seaweed species in China are scarce or missing. In this study, we explored the potential of seaweeds as bio-monitor by screening the natural occurring seaweeds in the "Kingdom of seaweed and shellfish" at Dongtou Islands, the East China Sea. Totally, 12 seaweed species were collected from six sites, with richness following the sequence of Rhodophyta > Phaeophyta > Chlorophyta. The concentration of heavy metals (Cu, Cr, Ni, Zn, Pb, Cd, As) in the seaweeds was determined, and the bioaccumulation coefficient was calculated. A combination of four seaweeds, Pachydictyon coriaceum, Gelidium divaricatum, Sargassum thunbergii, and Pterocladiella capillacea, were proposed as bio-monitors due to their high bioaccumulation capabilities of specific heavy metals in the East China Sea and hence hinted the importance of using seaweed community for monitoring of pollution rather than single species. Our results provide first-hand data for the selection of bio-monitor species for heavy metals in the East China Sea and contribute to selection of cosmopolitan bio-monitor communities over geographical large area, which will benefit the establishment of monitoring programs for coastal heavy metal contamination.

: Concentrations of Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn were determined in four arctic brown algae (Laminaria saccharina, L. digitata, Alaria esculenta, Desmarestia aculeata) in an attempt to examine for their metal accumulation capacity and also to assess their contamination levels. Macroalgae were collected from shallow subtidal waters (<20 m) of Kongsfjorden (Kings Bay) on Spitsbergen during the period of the late July to early August 2003. Metal concentrations highly varied between sampling sites, species and tissue parts. Input of melt-water laden with terrigenous sediment particles seemed to have a large influence on baseline accumulations of some metals (Al, Fe, Mn, Pb etc.) in the macroalgae, causing a significant spatial variation. There were also significant concentration differences between the young and old tissue parts in L. saccharina, L. digitata and A. esculenta. While Al, Fe, Mn, Pb were higher in the perennial parts below meristematic region (excluding holdfast), Cd and As concentrations were significantly higher in the young blades above the meristematic region. Zn and Cr, on the other hand, showed little differences between the tissue parts. The highest metal concentrations were found in D. aculeata, which seems to be due to its filamentous fine branches leading to high surface/volume ratios. The lowest concentrations were found in the two Laminaria spp., the blades of which are thicker than D. aculeata and A. esculenta. No distinct signs of contamination were detected in the brown algal species analyzed. Added to this, the results of the present studies suggest the potential utility of L. saccharina, L. digitata and A. esculenta as biomonitors for metal pollution monitoring in this area.

“…From 1981 to the present the biomonitoring of metals in the northwest Sea of Japan was carried out using Sargassum seaweed in coastal bays of the second order (the Posyet, Slavyanka, Amurskii, Ussuriiskii, Vostok, and Nakhodka Bays) of the Peter the Great Bay; these areas were subjected to anthropogenic impacts to some degree. This testing was performed in the open southwest of the Peter the Great Bay as well, which is the least human impacted part of the Primor sky Krai, but this area is located in a zone of the trans boundary transport of pollutants from China and Korea [5,6,11,12,17,18]. Outside the Peter the Great Bay, the Sargassum seaweed was sampled in the Olga and Kievka bays (the open southeast coast of the Primorsky Krai).…”

The background concentrations of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, and Ni were calculated in samples of the brown algae Sargassum pallidum from the northwest of the Sea of Japan for the 1995-2008 period. We found 60-672 µg/g of dry mass for Fe, 12-455 for Mn, 6.2-23.8 for Zn 0.9-3.9 for Cu, 0-5.5 for Pb, 0.5-1.7 for Cd, and 0.4-3.8 for Ni. The median plus double median of the absolute deviations from the median (Me + 2MAD) was used as the upper threshold of background metal concentrations. The lower threshold for the background data, which coincides with the physiologically necessary quantity of an element, was the median of 15% of the minimum values of the sample minus the double median of the absolute deviations of the median (Me 15 -2MAD 15 ). The Me 15 ± 2MAD 15 range was regarded as the natural background data.
