The recent literature describing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in air, water, soil
and sediment, waste sludge, biomonitoring, toxicity, are reviewed. Aspects of sampling …

The blue mussel (Mytilus spp.) is widely used as a bioindicator for monitoring of coastal
water pollution (mussel watch programs). Herein we provide a review of this study field with …

Exposure to a variety of environmental factors such as temperature, pH, oxygen and salinity
may influence the oxidative status in aquatic organisms. The present review article focuses …

Ecosystems around the world are facing challenging issue in pollution management and
ocean services for the coastal community. Population growth in coastal areas, coupled with …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are large class of hydrophobic, semi-volatile
organic contaminants that may enter the environment from both natural sources and …

Produced water (PW), a large byproduct of offshore oil and gas extraction, is reinjected to
formations or discharged to the sea after treatment. The discharges contain dispersed crude …

The impacts of seawater acidification and salinity shifts on metabolism, energy reserves, and
oxidative status of mussels have been largely neglected. With the aim to increase the current …

Native mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis are used as bioindicator organisms to assess the
concentration levels and toxic effects of persistent chemicals, polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) …

By the end of year 2100 physiological and biochemical performance of aquatic organisms
are expected to become strongly affected by salinity and pH shifts, which in turn may favor …

In this study, we are interested in spatial and temporal variations of the biological and
physiological responses of mussels collected from contrasting marine sites regarding their …
