“…A significant correlation between the concentrations recorded in S-clams and in the surface sediment was also recorded. Literature on metals and mollusks from the Venice lagoon contains a number of papers dealing with bioaccumulation in Mytilus galloprovincialis, Crassostrea gigas and Cerastoderma glaucum (Sfriso et al, 1995;Da Ros et al, 2000;Irato et al, 2003;Pojana et al, 2003;Marin et al, 2006) but only few of them considering also Tapes philippinarum. Marin et al (2006) studied the Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn content in the surface sediments and in the digestive gland tissues of some clams, among which T. philippinarum from some stations close to Chioggia center and Marghera industrial district.…”

a b s t r a c tThe concentration changes of 12 metals (As, Hg, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Pb, Mn, Ni, V, Zn, Fe, and Hg) in the soft tissues of Tapes philippinarum during growth were investigated. Clams were seeded in two contaminated areas of the Venice lagoon (San Giuliano and Fusina) and in an area of the Marano lagoon (Lignano Sabbiadoro) close to the clam-farm where the seed was produced. Metal trends were very different according to the considered element, the study site and the growth period. Arsenic was always higher in clam tissues than in surface sediments and suspended particles in all the three stations. Mercury, Cd and Cu were higher in the clams from Marano and Fusina but not in those from San Giuliano. Zinc and Co in clams exceeded the concentrations in the sediment and suspended particles only at Marano. The other elements (Cr, Pb, Mn, Ni, and Fe) were always higher in SPM and sediments. In general metal concentrations in clams were more highly correlated to concentrations in the suspended particles rather than in the surface sediments and in suspended clams rather than in bottom clams, nevertheless significant differences between stations and contaminants were found. Metal concentrations in clams were always lower than the European regulatory limits.Published by Elsevier Ltd.

“…In particular, the sites of Tresse and Lago dei Teneri are influenced by oil refineries and commercial port of Porto Marghera, while the presence of the town of Chioggia affects stations in the southern border of the lagoon. The sites of Cà Roman, S. Erasmo and Palude della Rosa, often used as control areas in biomonitoring studies in the lagoon environment (Da Ros and Nesto 2005;Marin et al 2001Marin et al , 2006Nesto et al 2004;Pampanin et al 2005), were selected as reference sites.…”

Transplanted Mytilus galloprovincialis and native Ruditapes philippinarum were deployed in 10 sampling stations with different pollution impact within the Lagoon of Venice to evaluate the temporal variations and the suitability of the following cytochemical and histochemical biomarkers just as indicators of environmental stress: lysosomal membrane stability, lipofuscins, neutral lipids and lysosome to cytoplasm volume ratio. The physiological status of the organisms was also investigated by determining the survival in air capability and the reburrowing rate (clams). The biological parameters were assessed in June and October. Furthermore, for a better definition of the environmental aspects of the study sites, heavy metal, PAH and PCB concentrations were also evaluated in the sediments. As a whole, the biological responses examined in both species from all the sampling sites showed significant differences between the two seasonal campaigns, only lysosomal membrane stability exhibited less variability. Pollutants in sediments generally showed low-intermediate contamination levels, few hotspots persisting mostly in the inner areas of the lagoon, the most influenced by the industrial zone. Transplanted mussels were more responsive than native clams and the biological responses of both species varied temporally. The range of the spatial variability was always narrow and reflected only partially the broader variability shown by the chemical content in the sediments. In this sense, biological responses seemed to be particularly influenced by the high temporal and spatial heterogeneity that characterise the Lagoon of Venice, as well as most of the transitional environments.

This study investigated concentration of metal ions, intersexuality and histological alterations of digestive gland in Mytilus galloprovincialis. Samples were collected from two areas of Gamak Bay in May, 2010. The concentration of metal ions showed that Al (366.5 ± 249.7 mg/kg) was highest and Zn (179.5 ± 67.8 mg/kg) was second high concentration. Co (1.0 ± 0.2 mg/kg) was lowest. The intersexuality was 26.4% and males (38.8%) was higher than the females (12.9%). Intersex type was observed four types. Destruction of digestive tubule epithelium was highest among other biomarker in digestive gland. Distribution of basophilic cell and lipofuscin was 6.1% and 1.5%, respectively.
