“…Compared with other studies, our cadmium concentrations were markedly lower than those reported in Patella caerulea from five stations in Favignana Island (Sicily, Italy), by Campanella et al (2001) (2.62-5.00 µg g −1 ), (1.07-9.12 µg g −1 ) and in samples from Canary Islands by Diaz et al (1992) (0.81 µg g −1 ). But findings slightly higher than those of the present study were reported in samples collected from the northern part of the Rijeka Bay (average 0.50 µg g −1 ) (Ozretic et al, 1990) and along the Mediterranean coast of Spain (average 0.45 µg g −1 ) (Pastor et al, 1994). A number of species of marine gastropod are differentially selective for the accumulation of a range of metals (Nicolaidou and Nott, 1990).…”

“…Mercury concentrations in Patella caerulea from the Tyrrhenian coast ranged from 0.03 to 0.42 µg g −1 wet weight while in the vicinity of a chloro-alkali plant, high values reaching 1.42-4.04 µg g −1 wet weight were registered (Renzoni, 1980). In Patella caerulea samples from the northern part of the Rijeka Bay (Yugoslavia), one of the most heavily industrialized regions of the eastern Adriatic coast, the content of mercury was 0.22 µg g −1 wet weight (Ozretic et al, 1990). Compared with other studies, our cadmium concentrations were markedly lower than those reported in Patella caerulea from five stations in Favignana Island (Sicily, Italy), by Campanella et al (2001) (2.62-5.00 µg g −1 ), (1.07-9.12 µg g −1 ) and in samples from Canary Islands by Diaz et al (1992) (0.81 µg g −1 ).…”

Trace metal concentrations of mercury, cadmium, lead and chromium in Patella caerulea, and Mullus barbatus were investigated to provide information on pollution of Ionian Sea, since these metals have the highest toxic potential. High chromium levels (0.47-0.97 microg g(-1) ww) were registered in limpet samples collected from two station near the Gulf of Taranto, while elevated concentration of mercury (0.31-1.50 microg g(-1) ww) were found in mullet specimens from Sicily. The metal concentrations recorded at the clean stations may be considered as useful background levels to which to refer for comparison within the Mediterranean area. On the contrary, the high levels of chromium and mercury found respectively in the areas near the Gulf of Taranto and at Capo Passero being of concern in terms of environmental health need frequent monitoring.

“…Unlike other bivalve species, for which, there are a lot of data on concentrations of metals (Eisler 2010), studies on metal concentrations in soft tissue of Noah's Ark shells are generally lacking. A and according to our knowledge, only two short reports on concentrations of several trace metals in this shellfish have been published (Ozretić et al 1990;Cuculić et al 2010).…”

Commercially important bivalve Noah's Ark shell (Arca noae Linnaeus, 1758) represents a high-quality seafood product, but the data on levels of metal contaminants that could pose a human health risk and also on some essential elements that are important for health protection are lacking. This study examineds the concentrations of Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni, Cu, Co, and Zn in the mg/kg wet weight. These levels were lower than the permissible limits for safe consummation of seafood, and only for Cd, some precautions should be taken into account if older shellfish were consumed. Increase of Cd, Cr, and Cu in shell tissue was observed during the tourist season at the site closest to the marine traffic routes, indicating that metal levels in shellfish tissue should be monitored especially carefully monitored during the peak tourist season, to prevent eventual toxic effects due to increased intake of metals, specifically of Cd.

“…This study presents a statistical model that is able to show the relationships between five metals -Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, and Pb -and the weight of the samples of Monodonta turbinata (Born), a species already used in recent years as a bioindicator for trace metals in marine ecosystems [4,[8][9][10]20].…”

A regression model is proposed for studying the relationship between trace metals concentrations and weights of individuals of Monodonta turbinata (Born), a gastropod mollusc used as a trace metal biomonitor of marine coastal areas. The model herein presented was developed including sites as reference factors and showed very good correlations. The prevision model of contamination gave good results for this kind of pollutants, and it can be used as a tool for monitoring programmes
