“…Gelsleichter and Szabo [ 91 ] showed that in the latter case, the drugs can accumulate and put the C. laucas population at risk, although the effect remained undiscovered. Instead, Martins et al [ 85 ] demonstrated that the transfer of diclofenac from a maternal uterus to the offspring can occur at a rate of 27%.…”

“…A study on the Brazilian guitarfish, Pseudobatos horkelii [85] showed how PCPs, particularly legacy pollutants, can influence maternal load and transmit it to the offspring. Indeed, they hypothesized that the highest transfer rates of methylparaben to the offspring were 6%, due to the presence of this pollutant in the maternal uterus samples.…”

In this historical context, the Mediterranean Sea faces an increasing threat from emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, heavy metals, pesticides and microplastics, which pose a serious risk to the environment and human health. In this regard, aquatic invertebrates and fish are particularly vulnerable to the toxic effects of these pollutants, and several species have been identified as bio-indicators for their detection. Among these, bivalve molluscs and elasmobranchs are now widely used as bio-indicators to accurately assess the effects of contaminants. The study focuses on the catshark Scyliorhinus canicular and on the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. The first one is a useful indicator of localised contamination levels due to its exposure to pollutants that accumulate on the seabed. Moreover, it has a high trophic position and plays an important role in the Mediterranean Sea ecosystem. The bivalve mollusc Mytilus galloprovincialis, on the other hand, being a filter-feeding organism, can acquire and bioaccumulate foreign particles present in its environment. Additionally, because it is also a species of commercial interest, it has a direct impact on human health. In conclusion, the increasing presence of emerging pollutants in the Mediterranean Sea is a serious issue that requires immediate attention. Bivalve molluscs and elasmobranchs are two examples of bio-indicators that must be used to precisely determine the effects of these pollutants on the marine ecosystem and human health.
