The mercury (Hg) poisoning of Minamata Bay of Japan widely activated a global attention to
Hg toxicity and its potential consequences to the aquatic ecosystem and human health. This …

This chapter reviews the concentrations of several major metal contaminants in bivalve
mollusks collected from different regions of the world. Bivalve mollusks considered in this …

Commercial marine organisms were collected from the coast of Xiangshan Bay to
investigate the concentrations of eight heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn) and …

In the present study, seasonal variations of metal concentrations were examined in two
oyster species, Crassostrea hongkongensis and Crassostrea sikamea, and in seawater from …

This study recompiled a national dataset to characterize the pollution level and health risk of
cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in oysters along the coastal areas of …

Bio-accumulation and bio-transmission of toxic metals and the toxicological responses of
organisms exposed to toxic metals have been focused, due to heavy metal contaminations …

Heavy metals (HMs) have the characteristics of high toxicity, long residual time, and difficult
degradation, which pose a potential threat to aquatic ecosystems. The distribution and …

The present study assessed the spatial and temporal variations on metal bioaccumulation
and biochemical biomarker responses in oysters Crassostrea gasar transplanted to two …

In the current study, ecological risk of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in sediments,
seawater, wastewater, soft tissues and shell of a major fouling species Callista florida (C …

Abstract Jiulong River Estuary, located in southern China, was heavily contaminated by
metal pollution. In this study, the estuarine oysters Crassostrea hongkongensis were …
