“…Angelo et al [8] and Besser et al [10] observed that mussel populations declined with increasing concentrations of Pb, Cd, or Zn in sediment in lead and zinc mining areas in the central United States. Laboratory sediment toxicity testing with juvenile fatmucket exposed for 28 d to sediments collected from these sites also indicated that the survival, growth, or biomass of juvenile mussels were adversely affected by these metals elevated in pore water or in whole sediment [10,11].…”

“…Elevated concentrations of some metals, such as Pb, Cd, and Zn, have been reported in water and sediment, potentially creating risks for sensitive invertebrates, fish, and wildlife in some ecosystems [8][9][10]. However, limited information is available regarding the acute or chronic effects of exposure to Pb, Cd, and Zn on freshwater mussels [4,7].…”

Toxicity of lead, cadmium, or zinc to early life stages of freshwater mussels (fatmucket, Lampsilis siliquoidea; Neosho mucket, L. rafinesqueana) was evaluated in 48-h exposures with mussel larvae (glochidia), in 96-h exposures with newly transformed (5-d-old) and two- or six-month-old juvenile mussels, or in 28-d exposures with two- or four-month-old mussels in reconstituted soft water. The 24-h median effect concentrations (EC50s) for fatmucket glochidia (>299 microg Pb/L, >227 microg Cd/L, 2,685 microg Zn/L) and 96-h EC50s for two- or six-month-old fatmucket (>426 microg Pb/L, 199 microg Cd/L, 1,700 microg Zn/L) were much higher than 96-h EC50s for newly transformed fatmucket (142 and 298 microg Pb/L, 16 microg Cd/L, 151 and 175 microg Zn/L) and Neosho mucket (188 microg Pb/L, 20 microg Cd/L, 145 microg Zn/L). Chronic values for fatmucket were 10 microg Pb/L, 6.0 microg Cd/L, and 63 and 68 microg Zn/L. When mussel data from the present study and the literature were included in updated databases for deriving U.S. Environmental Protection Agency water quality criteria, mussel genus mean acute values were in the lower percentiles of the sensitivity distribution of all freshwater species for Pb (the 26th percentile), Cd (the 15th to 29th percentile), or Zn (the 12th to 21st percentile). The mussel (Lampsilis) genus mean chronic value was the lowest value ever reported for Pb (the 9th percentile) but was near the middle of the sensitivity distribution for Cd (the 61st percentile) or Zn (the 44th percentile). These results indicate that mussels were relatively sensitive to the acute toxicity of these three metals and to the chronic toxicity of Pb, but were moderately sensitive to the chronic toxicity of Cd or Zn compared to other freshwater species.

“…Unlike fish, which often migrate long distances in response to changing water levels and other stimuli, mussels spend their entire juvenile and adult lives in the same general location. Unlike most other freshwater invertebrates, mussels can live for years or decades, and estimates of species richness and total abundance are unaffected by the potential complications arising from rapid generational turnover (Angelo et al 2007). …”

Concentrations of cadmium, copper, and lead were determined in surficial sediments and the soft tissues (foot and gills) of swan mussel Anodonta cygnea from two sampling sites in Anzali wetland, which is an internationally important wetland registered in the Ramsar Convention. The metal contents in the mussel species from the studied region were comparable to other world areas. In most cases, the levels of the metals either fell within the range for other areas or were lower. There were significant differences between the tissues for the accumulation of Cd and Pb. Only in the case of Pb accumulation in gills significant differences between the specimens from the selected sampling sites could be observed. Age-related correlations were found in the case of Cu accumulation in foot and Cd levels in gills. No weight-dependent trend could be observed for the accumulation of the three elements. There was significant negative width-dependent relationship in the case of Cu. A significant negative correlation was also found between the maximum shell height and Cu accumulation in the gills. The only association among the elements in the selected soft tissues was found between Cd and Pb. Highly significant differences could be found between the sampling sites from the concentration of the elements in sediments point of view. The pattern of metal occurrence in the selected tissues and sediments exhibited the following descending order: Pb, Cu>Cd for gills, Cu>Pb, Cd for foot, and Cu>Pb>Cd for sediments. The mean concentrations of Cd and Pb in the sediments from the study area were higher than the global baseline values and world average shale. In the case of Cu, our results were somewhat higher than the baseline values but well below the world average shale.

“…Cadmium contamination of the fishes was the main cause for the episodal pollution and endemic bone disease "itai-itai" reported from Japan, during which several hundreds of peoples were affected. Water sources near cadmiumemitting industries, both with historic and current operations; have shown a marked elevation of cadmium in water sediments and aquatic organisms [5].The World Health Organization (WHO) has set a maximum guideline concentration of 0.003mg/L for Cd in drinking water [6]. With this adverse effect of Cadmium metal and with increase in paint and plastic industry in Nigeria, there is considerable interest in the development of techniques to remove cadmium from contaminated water before they are discharged into receiving bodies.…”
