“…In some cases, high HMs concentrations have been found in liver and muscle tissues of several species of edible fishes [11][12][13][14]. Some known HMs accumulators are part of our diets, including the bivalve Mytilus galloprovincialis, a filter-feeder that has been used as a pollution indicator to assess levels of arsenic, cadmium (Cd), chromium, copper (Cu), mercury, manganese, nickel, lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in waters [15][16][17][18]. Some HMs, including cobalt, Cu, chromium, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, selenium and zinc, are toxic to living organisms only if exceeding certain thresholds, while are considered essential at trace concentrations due to their known biological roles [19,20], while others, such as Cd, Pb and mercury, are regarded as biologically non-essential and exhibit toxic effects [21][22][23].…”

Microalgae are increasingly recognised as suitable microorganisms for heavy metal (HM) removal, since they are able to adsorb them onto their cell wall and, in some cases, compartmentalise them inside organelles. However, at relatively high HM concentrations, they could also show signs of stress, such as organelle impairments and increased activities of antioxidant enzymes. The main aim of this review is to report on the mechanisms adopted by microalgae to counteract detrimental effects of high copper (Cu) concentrations, and on the microalgal potential for Cu bioremediation of aquatic environments. Studying the delicate balance between beneficial and detrimental effects of Cu on microalgae is of particular relevance as this metal is widely present in aquatic environments facing industrial discharges. This metal often induces chloroplast functioning impairment, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and growth rate reduction in a dose-dependent manner. However, microalgae also possess proteins and small molecules with protective role against Cu and, in general, metal stress, which increase their resistance towards these pollutants. Our critical literature analysis reveals that microalgae can be suitable indicators of Cu pollution in aquatic environments, and could also be considered as components of eco-sustainable devices for HM bioremediation in association with other organisms.

“…In a number of studies [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ], the effect of the sampling site on trace element accumulation in mussels was investigated in the Mediterranean and Atlantic coastal areas. The trace element levels in soft tissues of M. galloprovincialis from different areas of the Black Sea also demonstrated significant spatial variability [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ], especially for the animals of older age groups [ 43 , 44 ].

Although the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis has been known for decades as an excellent bioindicator of trace element pollution in the marine environment, there is still no information on the effects of a suite of its principal morphometric parameters and age on trace element levels in soft tissues. In this work, using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, we studied the contents of 72 elements in soft tissues of M. galloprovincialis aged 0.5–4, which were sampled at three stations within a relatively small water body, Sevastopol Bay. Significant effects of age and sampling location on the element contents and soft tissue dry-to-wet weight ratio were discovered. The effects of sex were not significant. It was presumed for the first time that the decrease in element content in the soft tissues of young mussels can be associated with the decrease in physiological needs for elevated contents of essential elements and intracellular water with age. Combinations of six principal morphometric parameters showed that a function of as few as three parameters (soft tissue dry weight, whole mollusk weight, and shell height, with by far the greatest contribution of the dry-to-total weight ratio) formed significant correlations with the contents of the largest possible number of elements (69–88% of the total number). For the first time, it was shown that linear discriminant analysis and canonical analysis of principal coordinates can be successfully used for tracing the exact origin of mussel samples within such a small water area. Canonical analysis of principal coordinates proved superior in the correct classification of the samples.

In this study, monthly heavy metal concentrations in the whole-body tissue of Patella caerulea (Mediterranean limpets), a bioindicator species living in the coastal zone of the Gulf of Izmit (Marmara Sea), were examined for the first time. The mean metal concentrations in Patella caerulea (mg kg-1 dw) were 2.01–5.74 Cd, 2.45–12.90 Cu, 0.74–1.95 Pb, 21.12–109.57 Zn, 16.31–154.67 Ni, and 1120.67–3086.00 Fe. Cd levels in all months and Pb levels in October and November were found to be above the safe limits set by international organizations. The estimated daily intakes and estimated weekly intakes determined for each heavy metal were below the acceptable daily intakes and provisional tolerable weekly intakes. However, the target hazard quotient and total target hazard quotient values calculated for Cd, Ni, and Fe were found to be higher than 1. The carcinogenic risk value was also found to be high.
