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 …

Global warming, bioinvasions, and parasitism affect single‐species performances and
species interactions, substantially impacting the structure and stability of marine ecosystems …

Microplastics (MPs) are the most numerous debris reported in marine environments and
assessment of the amounts of MPs that accumulate in wild organisms is necessary for risk …

Microplastic fibers (MPF) are a ubiquitous marine contaminant, making up to 90% of global
microplastic concentrations. Imaging flow cytometry was used to measure uptake and …

The ingestion of microplastics by shellfish pose a potential health risk for human via seafood
consumption. This study investigated and compared the contamination levels and potential …

Benthic organisms and their bioturbation activities have a profound effect on a multitude of
sediment properties. While many studies have already explored benthic impacts at small …

Microplastics as a new class of environmental contaminants have become the hot issue of
global concern. We conducted quantitative and qualitative experiments to investigate …

Plastic pollution, which is one of the most important environmental problems at the present
time, has been understood recently, and the effects of this pollution on ecosystem and biota …

We investigated the environmental partitioning and particle characteristics of macro-, meso-
and microplastics and their uptake into the mussel, Mytilus edulis. Sediment samples …

The effectiveness of mussel caging for active microplastics (MPs) biomonitoring was
investigated for the first time by comparing abundance and characteristics (shape, size, color …
