Bivalves are important members of the ecosystem and their populations are declining
globally, making them a concern for their role in ecosystem services and the fishing industry …

Radionuclide contamination in food is a public health issue. Bivalves are known to
accumulate relatively high levels of radionuclides. Despite many relevant reports, this …

Phthalate esters (PAEs), as a major plasticizer with multi-biotoxicity, are frequently detected
in marine environments, and potentially affecting the survival of aquatic organisms. In the …

Cadmium (Cd) is a typical pollutant in marine environment. Increasing studies have focused
on the toxicological effects of Cd in marine bivalves. However, there were many conflicting …

Heavy metal pollution in the coastal environment is a great concern as its adverse effects on
marine health. Heavy metals are a group of persistent organic pollutants and last for years in …

The unique, closed ecosystem of the Black Sea is of significant global importance. The
