The so-called marine litter, and in particular microplastics (MPs) nanoplastics (NPs), are ubiquitously distributed recognised as an emerging risk for the environment human health. It is known that environments one of most impacted areas among them; coastal zones contaminated ones. They subjected to population pressure, tourism, harbours, desalination plants, traffic fish farms. This review focused on Mediterranean Sea, currently considered hot spot pollution world, a consequence high number...
Abstract Martínez-Gómez, C., Vethaak, A. D., Hylland, K., Burgeot, T., Köhler, A., Lyons, B. P., Thain, J., Gubbins, M. and Davies, I. 2010. A guide to toxicity assessment monitoring effects at lower levels of biological organization following marine oil spills in European waters. – ICES Journal Marine Science, 67: 1105–1118. The usefulness applying biological-effects techniques (bioassays biomarkers) as tools assist evaluating damage the health ecosystems produced by has been demonstrated...
A large scale study of trace metal contamination (Hg, Cd, Pb and Ni) by means caged mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis was undertaken along the coastal waters Western Mediterranean Sea within context MYTILOS project. Individual from an homogeneous population (shell size 50 ± 5 mm) obtained aquaculture farm were consecutively deployed at 123 sites located in Alborán, North-Western, South-Western Tyrrhenian sub-basins for 12 weeks (April-July) 2004, 2005 2006. After cage recoveries, both...
The neutral red retention (NRR) assay to determine lysosomal membrane stability (LMS) was applied wild mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) sampled from fourteen sites with different degrees of chemical pollution along the Iberian Mediterranean coast in 2002 and 2003. Total body burdens for a range contaminants were measured pooled samples (n = 50) whole soft tissues order explore possible causality. Mean LMS values 15) significantly greater one selected two reference (San Diego) than...
To evaluate the state and temporal trends of residual metal contamination caused by dumping mine tailings into Portman Bay (SE Spain) during 20th century, concentrations Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, As in wild mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were studied over period 1991–2005. The results show significant downward (P < 0.05) Zn. Nevertheless, trace from 2005 higher than reference established for coast Murcia Spanish Mediterranean littoral, only exceptions being Cu As. Red mullets (Mullus...
