UK long-term monitoring dataset: assessing factors affecting biomarkers commonly used in environmental programmes

Abstract: Long-term programmes like the UK Clean Seas Environmental Monitoring Programme (CSEMP) rely on biological effects techniques, including biomarkers, to assess if chemical pollutants are affecting sentinel species in the aquatic environment. In this study, we have applied mixed and fixed effect linear models to the long-term CSEMP dataset (2005-2018) to evaluate if factors such as region (location), sex, age, gonadosomatic index (GSI) and condition factor (CF), contribute to the variability observed in the level… Show more

“…Biomarker measurements in bioindicator organisms have become valuable tools for environmental monitoring from the perspective of surveillance, hazard assessment or documentation of the remediation of aquatic environments [12,17]. Moreover, biomarkers are an essential component of aquatic environment monitoring programs in several countries, supporting commonly used chemical monitoring techniques [18][19][20].…”

“…The use of an integrated approach of bio-indicators and biomarkers in ecological risk assessment nowadays makes it possible to investigate possible stress situations related to different time scales. The use of such investigative methodologies in an integrated ecotoxicological approach toward the biomonitoring of aquatic ecosystems offers a sensitive and specific tool for assessing exposure to emerging pollutants and the potential damage they exert on organisms living in each environment, allowing for short-term interventions and the development of appropriate sustainable environmental management programs [19,20,25]. The implementation of an integrated approach poses the need to improve the ability to discriminate contaminants (particularly the emerging ones) and to investigate the link between biomarker response and adverse effects at the organism level, including processes such as growth, reproduction, and mortality.…”
