“…Nascimento et al (2015) evidenced that the marine benthic communities from areas adjacent to the mouth of the Doce River were disturbed, and the alterations were correlated with the concentrations of Al, V, Ba, iron mineralogical set, and percentages of mud. Marine shrimps presented bioaccumulation of metals and biochemical alterations (Maraschi et al, 2022). Marques et al (2022) observed signs of bioaccumulation in marine planktonic communities, highlighting the results for Fe and Mn.…”

The rupture of the Fundão dam in Brazil released tons of mining tailings into the Doce River Basin (DRB). This investigation aimed to determine the bioaccumulation of metals in soft tissues of the bivalve Corbicula fluminea exposed to sediments collected in the DRB in four periods (just after, 1, 3, and 3.5 years after the dam rupture). In the exposure bioassays, the concentrations of Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn in sediments and bivalve soft tissues were quantified. The concentration of some elements (As, Cd, Mn, and Al) in sediments exceeded the federal limits or regional backgrounds at some sampling sites, but their concentrations tended to decrease over time. However, higher concentrations of many elements were detected in the winter of 2019. Several elements were detected in C. fluminea soft tissues, but the bioaccumulation factors were generally low or not related to those elements associated with the ore tailings, evidencing that the bioavailability of metals to bivalves, in laboratory conditions, was limited.

“…The authors of [87] identified 12 species of fish most suitable for monitoring, while another study [88] used DNA metabarcoding to identify microbial communities affected by tailing remnants in the water column and sediment. In addition, there are studies focused on the bioaccumulation of metals at high rates in fish tissues [89,90] and in shrimp [91], showing that dam tailing effects continue to impact the Doce River and its estuary.…”

Biomonitoring for Watershed Protection from a Multiscale Land-Use Perspective

et al. 2023

The types and intensification of land use in the watershed affect the living organisms in aquatic ecosystems differently; this impact will also vary according to temporal and spatial scales. Understanding these interactions is crucial in the design of biomonitoring programs to detect the effect of different pollutants in freshwater ecosystems and improve watershed management and conservation strategies. Therefore, this paper qualitatively reviews biomonitoring studies in freshwater ecosystems to evaluate the impact of different land use types on multiple scales in watersheds. The paper is organized into four sections. The first section presents biomonitoring in different freshwater systems (streams, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs). In the second section, we describe the biomonitoring characteristics of the main land use types. In the third section, we explain how spatial and temporal scales affect biomonitoring. Finally, in the fourth section, we focus on biomonitoring planning and future prediction and discuss how to design biomonitoring programs and how to use models and eDNA in biomonitoring. Our review will assist in decision-making regarding biomonitoring programs in watersheds and will guide future studies on the different bioindicators for various land use types in diverse ecosystems worldwide.
