Microplastics in edible mussels from a southern Mediterranean lagoon: Preliminary results on seawater-mussel transfer and implications for environmental protection and seafood safety.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
This study assesses the microplastics (MPs) levels in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and seawater from a southern Mediterranean lagoon (Bizerte lagoon, Northern Tunisia) and discusses the potential effects of its consumption on human health ...

Insights into the uptake, elimination and accumulation of microplastics in mussel.

Environmental Pollution, 2019
The majority of plastics present in the marine environment are microplastics (MPs, 10 μm) were faster eliminated than the smaller ones. The global balance showed that after 6 days of depuration mussels eliminated ≈85% of the MPs cleared, and that ≈2-6 ...

Can colonizing mussel outcompete indigenous mussel?

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1988
Abstract The Red Sea mussel Brachidontes variabilis (Krauss) has colonized the Mediterranean Sea following immigration through the Suez Canal. In the Mediterranean, it encountered Mytilaster minimus (Poli) a smaller species with a higher intrinsic rate of population increase.

Microplastic fiber uptake, ingestion, and egestion rates in the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis).

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2018
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 ingestion rates of MPF by blue mussels (Mytilus edulis).

Suppression of microzooplankton by zebra mussels: importance of mussel size

Freshwater Biology, 1995
SUMMARY1. The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) is amongst the most recent species to invade the Great Lakes. We explored the suppressive capabilities of mussels 6–22‐mm in size on Lake St Clair microzooplankton (< 240)μm) in laboratory experiments.2.

Mussels as biological indicators of pollution

Aquaculture, 1991
Abstract Mussels have been extensively utilized in the past as a biological indicator of pollution in monitoring programs. The reason for this choice is that the mussel is a sessile, filter-feeding organism, able to accumulate within its tissues many of the contaminants (pesticides, hydrocarbons, metals, etc.) present in sea water.
