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 …

The antioxidant system of marine organisms consists of low molecular weight scavengers
and antioxidant enzymes which interact in a sophisticated network. Environmental pollutants …

In light of the current rising mean temperatures and fluctuations in temperature extremes
involved in global climate change, a cause-and-effect understanding of the temperature …

In the present work, the marine invertebrate Mytilus galloprovincialis was used as model
organism to evaluate the toxic effects of the neonicotinoid Calypso 480 SC (CAL) following …

Determination of total antioxidant capacity, instead of the measurements of limited number of
antioxidants, is very important for the understanding of how antioxidants interact with …

In this review, recent developments in monitoring toxicological responses in estuarine
animals are analyzed, considering the biomarker responses to different classes of …

This review considers the potential of the Comet assay (or Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis,
SCGE) to evaluate the environmental impact of genotoxins in aquatic environments. It …

Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) have potential applications in drug delivery, cancer diagnosis
and therapy, food industry and environment remediation. However, little is known about their …

This review discusses several research studies that employed comet assay to evaluate the
environmental impact of genotoxins in aquatic environments. It focuses on in vivo and in situ …
