“…Similar relationships have been observed in other Florida estuaries (Robichaux et al 1998, Phlips et al 2011, 2012, as well as estuaries in other regions of the world (Lam & Ho 1989, Voltolina 1993. The specific role of nitrogen enrichment in enhancing the potential for A. sanguinea blooms has been highlighted in several studies (García-Hernández et al 2005, Rothenberger 2007, Kudela et al 2008. The importance of periodic nutrient limitation of phytoplankton production has been demonstrated in many coastal ecosystems in Florida, such as the Indian River Lagoon (Phlips et al 2002), Suwannee River (Bledsoe & Phlips 2000) and the St. Lucie estuary (Phlips et al 2012).…”

Abstract:Akashiwo sanguinea is a cosmopolitan dinoflagellate that has been observed to form major blooms in coastal ecosystems around the world. A. sanguinea plays a major role in the ecology of many marine environments, including coastal ecosystems with variable salinities, where its euryhaline character makes it competitive. The study involved monthly water sampling and measurement of physical-chemical parameters at four sites from the upper reaches of the Caloosahatchee Estuary to San Carlos Bay bordering the Gulf of Mexico. Major A. sanguinea blooms were observed in the Caloosahatchee estuary, with biovolume up to 30.5 10 6 μm 3 mL 1 , equivalent to 740 cells mL 1 , in the upper estuary. The latter regions of the estuary also had the greatest range of salinity and the highest total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations. The dynamics of blooms are discussed within the context of spatial and temporal patterns of salinity, temperature and nutrient concentrations, as they relate to hydrologic and climatic conditions.

High metal contents in the fan mussel <em>Pinna nobilis</em> in the Balearic Archipelago (western Mediterranean Sea) and a review of concentrations in marine bivalves (Pinnidae)

Summary:Concentrations of metals (Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb and Zn) in the marine bivalve Pinna nobilis at several coastal locations of Majorca and the Cabrera Islands (Mediterranean Sea) were investigated. The elevated concentrations of metals found in the soft tissues of P. nobilis indicate high bioaccumulation factors. All concentrations and the calculated metal pollution index showed significant differences between sites, with particularly high concentrations in the Cabrera Archipelago, a marine protected area (MPA). The datasets were evaluated with the limited information published in the literature for Pinnidae species worldwide. In benthic P. nobilis, concentrations of Cd, Cu and Zn are more than 30 times higher and Hg and Pb concentrations are 4 and 7 times higher, respectively, than concentrations in other bivalve species, such as Mytilus galloprovincialis (Mytilidae). These observations from species inhabiting nearby ecological habitats of the coastal environment (Pinnidae vs. Mytilidae) are also discussed in the context of current marine monitoring strategies and assessments.Keywords: trace metal; bivalve; mollusc; bioaccumulation; Pinnidae, Mytilidae. Alto contenido de metales en el molusco Pinna nobilis en el Archipiélago Balear (Mediterráneo occidental) y una revisión de las concentraciones en bivalvos marinos (Pinnidae)Resumen: Se investigaron las concentraciones de metales (Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb y Zn) en el bivalvo marino Pinna nobilis en diferentes localidades costeras de las Islas de Mallorca y Cabrera (Mar Mediterráneo). Las elevadas concentraciones de metales que se encontraron en los tejidos blandos de P. nobilis revelaron una elevada bioacumulación. Las concentraciones de metales estudiadas, así como el índice de contaminación por metales (ICM) mostraron diferencias significativas entre los sitios, con concentraciones particularmente altas en el archipiélago de Cabrera, un área marina protegida (AMP). Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de la escasa información publicada sobre las especies de la familia Pinnidae a nivel mundial. En comparación con otras especies de bivalvos, como Mytilus galloprovincialis (Mytilidae), la especie bentónica P. nobilis presentó concentraciones más de 30 veces superiores para Cd, Cu y Zn; y hasta 4 y 7 veces para Hg y Pb, respectivamente. La información recabada sobre estas especies que habitan en ecosistemas costeros (Pinnidae vs. Mytilidae) es discutida en el contexto de las actuales estrategias marinas de seguimiento y evaluación.Palabras clave: metales traza; bivalvo; molusco; bioacumulación; Pinnidae, Mytilidae.Citation/Como citar este artículo: Vázquez-Luis M., Morató M., Campillo J.A., Guitart C., Deudero S. 2016.
