“…Mean metal concentrations in M. strigata were lower than in previous data reported for organisms of the same species sampled at mangrove sites in the Urías lagoon system [24][25][26] : 1.5-5.6 times lower for Cd; 1.2-35.5 for Cu; 0.4-11.5 for Pb; and 4.4-11.9 for Zn. This may simply result from discharges of materials containing such metals having been more elevated in previous years.…”

Water, surface sediments, the mussel Mytella strigata, the mangrove oyster Crassostrea corteziensis, and the green macroalgae Caulerpa sertularioides from four locations in Mazatlan Harbor on the southeast coast of the Gulf of California, were analyzed to determine concentrations and distribution patterns of cadmium, copper, mercury, lead, and zinc. Total metal concentrations in water in the present study exceed the background levels in open sea and coastal waters. Total metal concentrations in sediments were ordered as follows: Zn > Pb > Cu > Cd > Hg, but for the bioavailable fraction were ordered as Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd > Hg. The concentrations in bioavailable levels fall between the Threshold Effects Level (TEL), and Probable Effects Level (PEL), criteria for sediment quality. Distribution patterns for metals in organisms were ordered Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd > Hg with seasonal variations for Pb and Zn. Correlations between Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn were indicative of similar assimilation and storage mechanisms and common sources of contamination. These correlations also indicated that bioavailability was not simultaneous for Cd and Pb. Bioconcentration factors (BCF) show different patterns in different organisms. For the oyster the metals were ordered Zn >> Cu > Cd approximately Hg > Pb, for the mussel Hg > Cu approximately Zn approximately Cd > Pb and for the macroalgae Zn >> Cu > Pb > Cd > Hg. Based on BCF results in the lagoon system, the oyster C cortezienzes can be used as a biomonitor of Zn and Cu exposure, the mussel M. strigata of Hg exposure and the green macroalgae C. serticularioides of exposure to all five metals studied.

“…It has been documented that in A. grandis spat (9.5 ± 0.37 mm), the amount of suspended matter retained in 1 h varied between 1.24% and 1.60% of the total body dry weight (Miranda‐Baeza et al 2006). At a temperature of 25 °C, the retention increased with an increase in the particulate matter concentration, indicating that this species could even grow at seston concentrations higher than those found in natural water bodies (Marmolejo & Páez‐Osuna 1990; Alonso‐Rodríguez 1998).…”

This study examined the main ¢ltration variables [¢ltration rate (FR), clearance rate (CR) and assimilation e⁄ciency (AE)] of the Cortez oyster, Crassostrea corteziensis (Hertlein, 1951), and the mud cockle, Anadara tuberculosa (Sowerby, 1833), in shrimp aquaculture e¥uents at three di¡erent £ux velocities (1.5, 3 and 4.5 L h À 1 ) using a 36-respirometer system, each with a 0.5 L capacity. Under inverted photoperiod conditions, free variations in the environmental parameters were allowed to mimic e¥uent conditions during a pair of 12-h trials. The FRs for both species (0.124, 0.328 and 0.402 L h À 1 for the Cortez oyster; 0.093, 0.189 and 0.345 L h À 1 for the mud cockle) were relatively low as compared with those reported for similar or related species. The CRs were higher for the Cortez oyster (20.04, 52.92 and 64.70 L h À 1 ) than for the mud cockle (10.96, 22.95 and 42.12 L h À 1 ); in both cases, the values were in the range reported previously for the last species. The AE for both mollusks (over 92% for the Cortez oyster and over 95% for the mud cockle) was very high and greater than that found by other authors for the same or related species. The three ¢ltration variables were better at higher e¥uent £ux velocities. These preliminary results strongly suggest that both species are good candidates to be considered for bioremediation of aquaculture e¥uents.

“…Niencheski et al, 2001;Pérez et al, 2001;Caliceti et al, 2002;Otchere et al, 2003); in several cases, metal concentrations in the lagoon environment, mainly in sediments, have been simultaneously assessed in addition to those in organisms (e.g. Marmolejo-Rivas & Páez-Osuna, 1990;Fernandes et al, 1994;Cheggour et al, 2001). A few studies have determined metal concentrations in the environment and in some macrophyte and macroinvertebrate or macroinvertebrate and fish species (Capone et al, 1983;Sfriso et al, 1995;Storelli & Marcotrigiano, 2001).…”

Metal (Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd) concentration patterns in components of a macrophyte-based coastal lagoon ecosystem

Information on the metal biological fate in macrophyte-based coastal lagoons is provided; this information can contribute to the assessment of the environmental effects of metal pollution and to the development of predictive models for rational management of coastal lagoons. Iron, Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd concentrations in the dominant invertebrate and fish species of Monolimni Lagoon, Mediterranean Sea, as well as in potential major sources for metal accumulation in these animals (water, sediments, angiosperms, seaweeds), were measured. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was conducted using metal concentrations in invertebrates and fishes. All five metal concentrations loaded significantly on the first PCA axis; however, Zn and Cu loadings were less significant than Cd and even less than Fe and Pb ones. The samples of deposit-feeding invertebrates were separated from those of the rest of the organisms (browsing, herbivorous and carnivorous invertebrates, carnivorous gobies and muscle tissues of detritivorous mullets) along the first PCA axis. Deposit-feeding invertebrates displayed the highest Fe and Pb contents, and in general, the highest or comparatively high Cd, Zn and Cu ones. Carnivorous gobies showed comparatively high Zn contents and carnivorous shrimps the highest Cu ones, while muscle tissues of detritivorous mullets had low metal loads. In addition, there was no essential increase in metal concentrations corresponding to the increasing trophic level (autotrophs, to herbivores, to carnivores). Our findings suggest that (a) the variability in Fe, Pb and Cd contents in invertebrates and gobies depends at least to some extent on interspecific differences in feeding habits-deposit feeders accumulated the highest metal amounts probably due to high rates of uptake from sediments, (b) the variability in Zn and Cu concentrations in these organisms depends also on other interspecific differences apart from those in feeding habits, (c) metal accumulation in mullet muscle tissues does not depend markedly on feeding habits and (d) the trophic transfer of macrophyte-bound metals to the coastal lagoon food web is of relatively minor importance.
