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 …

The paper outlines a 2-tier approach for wide-scale biomonitoring programmes. To obtain a
high level of standardization, we suggest the use of caged organisms (mussels or fish). An …

Aquatic pollutants produce multiple consequences at organism, population, community and
ecosystem level, affecting organ function, reproductive status, population size, species …

In this paper, we review the current understanding on ecosystem and human health impacts
from the atmospheric deposition of acidifying pollutants, eutrophying nitrogen (N), polycyclic …

Two mathematical methods to assess the “health status” of flounder (Platichthys flesus),
eelpout (Zoarces viviparus) and blue mussel (Mytilus spp.) populations of the Baltic Sea …

The current study investigated oxidative stress parameters (enzymes activities,
metallothionein content and lipid peroxidation) in freshwater fish, Oreochromis niloticus …

Pollution of the aquatic environment is an ever-growing problem, as waters are the ultimate
sink for the large number of xenobiotics from multiple sources. DNA damaging agents have …

The micronucleus (MN) assay is one of the most widely used genotoxicity biomarkers in
aquatic organisms, providing an efficient measure of chromosomal DNA damage occurring …

This study investigated the impact of olive mill wastewater (OMW) as a pollutant of the
marine environment, via the detection of stress indice alterations in mussels Mytilus …

The coral reefs of the Persian Gulf are the most diverse systems of life in the marine
environment of the Middle East. Unfortunately, they are highly threatened by local and …
