Element composition of several marine macrophytes (Crimea, Black Sea) and correlations with the element abundances in sediments and seawater. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 257:119380. [PMID: 38851373 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
The study of the element accumulation in marine plants against the backdrop of permanently increasing environmental pollution is of particular importance due to the participation of these plants in biogeochemical cycles. The element abundances are highly variable and depend on both the macrophyte species and environment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the elemental composition of widespread marine plants of different taxonomic affiliations collected in the same area of the Black Sea coast. The contents of 74 elements in three species of lower (red, brown, green algae) and one species of higher plants (seagrass) were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. High contents of most elements were found in the red alga Ceramium ciliatum and in rhizomes of the seagrass Zostera noltei. In C. ciliatum, high metal bioaccumulation factors were found, which are dependent also on their concentration in the environment. Compared to the higher plant, all the macroalgae accumulated increased amounts of As and I. The seagrass proved to be a good concentrator of Mo and Sb, and relatively high contents of Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd and Ir were registered in its leaves. High contents of Mg, S, Ge, Se and Ta were found in the green alga Ulva rigida, and elevated levels of Al, As, Sr, Zr, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ba and Re were noted in the brown alga Gongolaria barbata. The enrichment factors for most elements in the sediments were well above 1 with respect to both the local Late Pleistocene sediments and the upper continental crust. The strength of correlations between the element contents in the plants and sediments was found to decrease with the specific surface area growth and appeared to have a lower asymptotic limit of the sediments-seawater correlation strength.

Testing combined effects of environmental trace metals/arsenic and marine trophic status on the bioaccumulation in Pacific oysters: Insights from 22-site field samplings. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2024; 207:116827.

Abstract
Pacific oysters were sampled from 22 human-impacted sites in northeastern Japan to measure Cr, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, and As. The hazard quotient was slightly >1 for Cu and/or As at two sites, but <1 for all metal species and As at the other sites, indicating low human health risks. Oysters' Cu, Zn, and Pb contents were positively related to their concentrations in the sediment, while Cr and As were not. Oysters' Cu and Zn were negatively related to the inorganic nitrogen in seawater, while oysters' Pb and As showed positive relationships with the particulate organic carbon. These findings suggest that marine trophic status affects oysters' metal uptake differently among the metal species. Furthermore, oysters' Cr, Cu, Zn, and Pb contents were negatively related to their eicosapentaenoic acid content and condition index. Therefore, the nutritional conditions of oysters may influence their elimination or accumulation of these metals.

Trace elements assessment in Cerastoderma glaucum from port areas in the Tunisian Mediterranean coast: The influence of parasites on bioaccumulation. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2024; 198:115831.

Abstract
In the present study, the seasonal concentration of seven trace elements was investigated in sediment and the cockle Cerastoderma glaucum tissues from two port areas in the North-East and South of Tunisia comparing cockles non-parasitized (NP) and parasitized (P) with digenean parasites. Elements concentration in sediments analyzed in both sites revealed that Zinc (Zn), Chromium (Cr), and Lead (Pb) were the most abundant ones, while Cadmium (Cd) and Mercury (Hg) were less abundant. The bioaccumulation of trace metals and Arsenic (As) in the tissues of cockles seems to be modulated by both the infection state and the parasite species. The relationship between bioaccumulation of metals and As, trematode species and abiotic parameters showed that the availability of certain metals for uptake by P cockles of both sites was influenced by the salinity and temperature of the water. Our results corroborate the possibility of using digenean infecting bivalves in biomonitoring aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
Microplastic contamination is a growing marine environmental issue with possible consequences for seafood safety. Filter feeders are the target species for microplastic (MPs) pollution because they filter large quantities of seawater to feed. In the present study, an experimental contamination of Mytilus galloprovincialis was conducted using a mixture of the main types of MPs usually present in the seawater column (53% filaments, 30% fragments, 3% granules) in order to test the purification process as a potential method for removing these contaminants from bivalves intended for human consumption. A set of molecular biomarkers was also evaluated in order to detect any variations in the expression levels of some genes associated with biotransformation and detoxification, DNA repair, cellular response, and the immune system. Our results demonstrate that: (a) the purification process can significantly reduce MP contamination in M. galloprovincialis; (b) a differential expression level has been observed between mussels tested and in particular most of the differences were found in the gills, thus defining it as the target organ for the use of these biomarkers. Therefore, this study further suggests the potential use of molecular biomarkers as an innovative method, encouraging their use in next-generation marine monitoring programs.

Abstract
Micronutrients, or essential trace elements, are important components in various metabolic processes inherent to the normal functioning of organism. To date, a substantial part of the world population suffers from a lack of micronutrients in the diet. Mussels are an important and cheap source of nutrients, which can be utilized to mitigate the micronutrient deficiency in the world. In the present work, using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, the contents of the micronutrients Cr, Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, I, and Mo were studied for the first time in soft tissues, shell liquor, and byssus of females and males of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis as the promising sources of essential elements in the human diet. Fe, Zn, and I were the most abundant micronutrients in the three body parts. Significant sex-related differences in the body parts were detected only for Fe, which was more abundant in byssus of males, and Zn, which exhibited higher levels in shell liquor of females. Significant tissue-related differences were registered in the contents of all the elements under study. M. galloprovincialis meat was characterized as the optimal source of I and Se for covering the daily human needs. Regardless of sex, byssus turned out to be richer in Fe, I, Cu, Cr, and Mo in comparison with soft tissues, which fact allows recommending this body part for the preparation of dietary supplements to compensate for the deficiency of these micronutrients in the human body.

Abstract
The rare earth element (REE) pollution in the hydrosphere has become a matter of serious concern lately. In this study, using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, the REE contents in soft tissue, byssus and shell liquor of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, as a potential REE pollution bioindicator, in the Black Sea were determined for the first time. The highest REE levels were observed in mussels from the seabed. The REE contents in byssus and shell liquor were higher than in soft tissue. In byssus, the contents of Y, La, Ce, Nd and Dy were the highest, whereas in shell liquor, the heavier REE and Sc were the most concentrated. No likely REE-associated risks from the mussel meat consumption were detected. In soft tissue and byssus, REE contents significantly correlated with that of silicon.

Abstract
Although the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis has been known for decades as an excellent bioindicator of trace element pollution in the marine environment, there is still no information on the effects of a suite of its principal morphometric parameters and age on trace element levels in soft tissues. In this work, using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, we studied the contents of 72 elements in soft tissues of M. galloprovincialis aged 0.5-4, which were sampled at three stations within a relatively small water body, Sevastopol Bay. Significant effects of age and sampling location on the element contents and soft tissue dry-to-wet weight ratio were discovered. The effects of sex were not significant. It was presumed for the first time that the decrease in element content in the soft tissues of young mussels can be associated with the decrease in physiological needs for elevated contents of essential elements and intracellular water with age. Combinations of six principal morphometric parameters showed that a function of as few as three parameters (soft tissue dry weight, whole mollusk weight, and shell height, with by far the greatest contribution of the dry-to-total weight ratio) formed significant correlations with the contents of the largest possible number of elements (69-88% of the total number). For the first time, it was shown that linear discriminant analysis and canonical analysis of principal coordinates can be successfully used for tracing the exact origin of mussel samples within such a small water area. Canonical analysis of principal coordinates proved superior in the correct classification of the samples.

Abstract
Sex inversion in the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis under the influence of heavy metals as one of the reasons for the shift in the sex ratio in the mussel population on the Black Sea coastal zone of Crimea were considered in the work. The present study is the first to directly show that heavy metals can cause females of the mussel M. galloprovincialis to change into males during post-spawning development of gonads. The degree of impact of heavy metals on the sex change in mussel females was different and decreased in the following sequence: Cu2+ → Cd2+ → Hg2+ → Pb2+ → Zn2+. Copper ions had the greatest effect, which caused a sex inversion in 54 % of females. The heavy metals Hg2+ and Pb2+ were also quite toxic causing mortality in 13 % and 10 % of individuals, respectively. It is possible to use M. galloprovincialis as a model organism in the study of mechanism of environmental sex reversal in bivalves.

Abstract
The mussel M. galloprovincialis is one of the most popular species in world's mariculture and environment pollution bioindicators. Although this mollusk was in a focus of numerous publications, the detoxifying and accumulating role of some of its body parts was insufficiently studied. The goals of the present work were as follows: (a) to study the distribution of potentially toxic elements (Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Hg, Pb) in soft tissues, byssus, and shell liquor of this bivalve as a function of sampling location in the Black Sea near the southwestern coast of Crimea and (b) to assess human health risks from consuming soft tissues of mussels cultivated on a mollusk farm. Multivariate analysis showed significant differences in the overall distribution of the elements among the body parts and sampling sites under consideration. The trace element contents in soft tissues of M. galloprovincialis decreased in the following order: Zn > Cu > As > Ni > Pb > Cd > Cr > Co > Hg. The noncarcinogenic hazard index from the cultivated mussel consumption was found to be well below one and the carcinogenic risk index was found within the tolerable limits, which indicate the safety of consuming these mussels for humans. Byssus of M. galloprovincialis was characterized as a perfect indicator of marine environment pollution with Ni, Cu, Pb, Сo, and Cr. For the first time, the concentrations of trace elements were determined in the shell liquor and the function of byssus and shell liquor as the systems of trace element excretion from soft tissues was demonstrated.

Abstract
Mollusks are a prospective food for the world's growing population, but the contents of toxic and essential trace elements in them have not been studied comprehensively. In this work, using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, the contents of 72 elements in soft tissues of the edible mollusks Mytilus galloprovincialis, Rapana venosa, and Crassostrea gigas from the coastal area of the southwestern Crimea were estimated and compared with the maximum permissible levels. Element accumulation similarities were observed in the two bivalve species. Cluster analysis applied to the non-normalized contents allowed finding an optimal number of non-overlapping element clusters: 1 group of macroelements, 1-2 groups of trace elements, and 1-2 groups of ultratrace elements. As an outcome of this analysis, the element accumulation universality index was introduced, which demonstrated the accumulation universality decrease in the order: mussel > sea snail > oyster. An original approach to estimating the mollusk consumption rate was proposed to assess human health risks. Two possible consumption scenarios were identified for Crimean residents. From the expected consumption of all species in both scenarios, there are no health risks, but they are not excluded, within the 95% probability, from high consumption of mussels and sea snails in the pessimistic scenario.
