“…However, even though they are in the same region, the element contents in bivalves may differ. Differences in element levels in bivalves depend on the bioaccumulation capacity of each species, physiological conditions (reproductive activity, growth, filtration rate), biotic factors (age, height, and sex), genetic characteristics, abiotic factors (salinity, pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen) depends on the chemical form of the elements, the structure of the sediment, and the area (O'Connor, 1996;Mendez et al, 2001;Skinner et al, 2004;Fuentes et al, 2009;Ulutarhan et al, 2019).…”

“…Due to the shallow transitional environments of lagoons such as rivers, streams, groundwaters and currents in lagoons, and also due to the influence of coastal geomorphological processes, hydrological processes, natural vegetation, and land use in the basin (Ustaoğlu et al, 2012), the physicochemical parameters frequently change. This affects the physiology and metal bioaccumulation in organisms distributed in lagoons (McLusky et al, 1986;Dame, 1996;Ulutarhan et al, 2019). Lagoons are among the most productive marine ecosystems in the world, serving as nutrition, habitat, migration routes, and nursery areas for many organisms such as phytoplankton, diatom, dinoflagellate, algae, fish, and bivalves (Din, 1992;Balls et al, 1997;Chapman and Wang, 2001).…”

The present study investigated the total elemental composition (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Al, S, B, Na, Mg, K, Ca, P, S) in smooth scallop (Flexopecten glaber) meat collected monthly in the Çardak Lagoon (Turkey) in 2017- 2018. Considering the distribution of elements in terms of quantity during the year, the elements were sorted as S> Na> K> P> Mg> Ca> Fe> Zn> Mn> Al> B> Cu> Se and the heavy metals were below the detection limit. Although the elements were at their highest values during autumn and summer, they were at their lowest values during spring and winter. The differences between the months in terms of Fe, Mn, Mg, and Ca elements were found to be statistically significant (p <0.05). It was determined that the element composition of smooth scallop meat was suitable for consumption in terms of the area where it is collected and is beneficial for health when consumed in the amounts recommended by FAO/WHO, and CODEX. The Hazard Quotient (THQ) and the Hazard Index (HI), which was conducted to evaluate the health risks of consuming smooth

“…The later value is over 5-fold higher than the 100 ng/g w.w. typically considered to correspond to heavily industrialised (and hence heavily polluted) areas (Viñas et al, 2009). Also, the calculation of diagnostic ratios between PAHs allowed us identifying their origin: Since seasonality and animal size are factors described to affect biomarker activities, including some of the analysed here (Banni et al, 2009;Cravo et al, 2013;Uluturhan et al, 2019), only individuals from similar size and collected at the same time period were considered in the study. The enzyme activities of mussels S9 digestive gland fraction from these two sites showed differences in terms of antioxidant activities (Table 2).…”

Mussels are worldwide bioindicators in pollution monitoring since they fulfil the requirements for being good sentinels. However, some methodological concerns arise in the use of particular biomarkers, particularly those displaying low enzymatic rates and/or limited responsiveness to chemicals and biological-related variability. In the present study, the suitability of oxidative stress and detoxification parameters when using mussels as sentinels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution is addressed. Present results show that the S9 subcellular fraction of the digestive gland in mussels is an adequate and convenient matrix where to measure most pollution related biomarkers. Furthermore, this work constitutes the first evidence of the potential suitability of using particular carboxylesterase (CE) activities in determining PAHs exposure in mussels. This fact could imply the replacement of more controversial cytochrome P450 components (phase I oxidation), which are only measurable in microsomal fractions, by CEs (measured in S9 fractions) as good alternatives for phase I reactions in PAH-exposed mussels. Some methodological considerations, such as the need of including commercial purified proteins in biomarker determinations for quality assurance, are evaluated.

“…During the last few decades, marine invertebrates, especially bivalve molluscs, have been widely used as sentinel species for aquatic pollutants associated with ROS generation (Tsangaris et al 2016, Uluturhan et al 2019. These sessile filter-feeder organisms are commonly used to assess the biological effects of contaminated ecosystems (Cravo et al 2012).…”

The aim of the present study was to investigate the combined effects of seasonality and anthropogenic pressure on a battery of oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, DNA damage and histological alterations in the native clam Ruditapes decussatus collected from a less contaminated area (LCA), Ghar El Melh, a moderately contaminated area (MCA), the North Lake, and a highly contaminated area (HCA), the South Lake, all located in the southern Mediterranean Sea. The accumulation of cadmium, lead, copper, iron and zinc was higher in the digestive glandsof clams collected from the MCA and the HCAthan in those from the LCA, particularly during the warm season. Our results reveal that metallothionein, lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation levels and antioxidant defence systems were higher, while acetylcholinesterase activity was lower, in clams from the MCAand HCAthan in those from the LCA. The results also indicate that clams from the MCA and the HCAare characterized by histological alterations and DNA damage. In conclusion, the evident changes of antioxidant defence systems and macromolecules between the studied lagoons reveal the perturbation of the physiological states of clams from polluted sites thatcope with seasonal changes and trace element accumulations.
