“…Indeed, no metabolite was modulated, while numerous necrosis, altered cells and degenerative alterations in gills and digestive glands such as ciliary erosion, cell necrosis and tissue malformations were observed. The inflammation by Hg was previously reported in bivalves in several histopathological studies (Bigas et al, 2006;Cappello et al, 2013;Chalghmi et al, 2016;do Amaral et al, 2019). It is considered as nonspecific consequences of physiological adaptation to a stress (Bigas et al, 2006;Cappello et al, 2013;Chalghmi et al, 2016;do Amaral et al, 2019).…”

“…Regarding human medicinal products, antibiotics, hormones, analgesics, antidepressants, and antineoplastics are the most frequently used/found in the aquatic environment, while among veterinary products, those are hormones, antibiotics, and parasiticides (Corcoran et al 2010 ). Although the majority of published prioritization approaches already indicated high environmental relevance of these compounds, in aquatic environments they occur as a mixture of various compounds whose combined toxicity does not necessarily correspond to one of the individual substances due to synergistic, antagonistic, and/or additive interactions (do Amaral et al 2019 ; Corcoran et al 2010 ).…”

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) continuously release a complex mixture of municipal, hospital, industrial, and runoff chemicals into the aquatic environment. These contaminants are both legacy contaminants and emerging-concern contaminants, affecting all tissues in a fish body, particularly the liver. The fish liver is the principal detoxifying organ and effects of consistent pollutant exposure can be evident on its cellular and tissue level. The objective of this paper is thus to provide an in-depth analysis of the WWTP contaminants’ impact on the fish liver structure, physiology, and metabolism. The paper also gives an overview of the fish liver biotransformation enzymes, antioxidant enzymes, and non-enzymatic antioxidants, their role in metabolizing xenobiotic compounds and coping with oxidative damage. Emphasis has been placed on highlighting the vulnerability of fish to xenobiotic compounds, and on biomonitoring of exposed fish, generally involving observation of biomarkers in caged or native fish. Furthermore, the paper systematically assesses the most common contaminants with the potential to affect fish liver tissue. Graphical Abstract

“…Although the golden mussel is more resilient to adverse conditions than dreissenids, it also has been used to monitor the presence of environmental pollutants using chemical and genotoxic assessments (do Amaral et al, 2019 ; El Haj et al, 2019 ; Balsamo Crespo et al, 2020 ; Gattás et al, 2020 ; Nunes et al, 2020 ; Pazos et al, 2020 ; Besen & Marengoni, 2021 ; Girardello et al, 2021 ; Mendes Sene et al, 2021 ; Miranda et al, 2021 ; Oliveira et al, 2021 ).…”

Ecosystem services provided by the exotic bivalves Dreissena polymorpha, D. rostriformis bugensis, and Limnoperna fortunei

The ecosystem services approach to conservation is becoming central to environmental policy decision making. While many negative biological invasion-driven impacts on ecosystem structure and functioning have been identified, much less was done to evaluate their ecosystem services. In this paper, we focus on the often-overlooked ecosystem services provided by three notable exotic ecosystem engineering bivalves, the zebra mussel, the quagga mussel, and the golden mussel. One of the most significant benefits of invasive bivalves is water filtration, which results in water purification and changes rates of nutrient cycling, thus mitigating the effects of eutrophication. Mussels are widely used as sentinel organisms for the assessment and biomonitoring of contaminants and pathogens and are consumed by many fishes and birds. Benefits of invasive bivalves are particularly relevant in human-modified ecosystems. We summarize the multiple ecosystem services provided by invasive bivalves and recommend including the economically quantifiable services in the assessments of their economic impacts. We also highlight important ecosystem disservices by exotic bivalves, identify data limitations, and future research directions. This assessment should not be interpreted as a rejection of the fact that invasive mussels have negative impacts, but as an attempt to provide additional information for scientists, managers, and policymakers.
