متن کاملMicroplastics in bivalves cultured for human consumption.
Microplastics are present throughout the marine environment and ingestion of these plastic particles (<1 mm) has been demonstrated in a laboratory setting for a wide array of marine organisms. Here, we investigate the presence of microplastics in two species of commercially grown bivalves: Mytilus edulis and Crassostrea gigas. Microplastics were recovered from the soft tissues of both species. ...
متن کاملTrophic and direct transfer of microplastics into the common shore crab Carcinus maenas. ICES CM 2013/A:02
Microscopic plastic debris is emerging as a global conservation issue. Ingestion of microplastics has been demonstrated in a range of marine animals both in the laboratory and in the oceans, but we know little of how microplastics may be transferred across trophic levels. Here, we used mussels (Mytilus edulis) and crabs (Carcinus maenas) to investigate the bioaccumulation and trophic transfer o...
متن کاملEffects of temperature on scope for growth and accumulation of Cd, Co, Cu and Pb by the marine bivalve Mytilus edulis.
In many aquatic organisms including Mytilus edulis, the role of temperature on bioaccumulation of metals is still not clearly understood. In this study, uptake and accumulation of Cu, Co, Cd and Pb in mussels were investigated at different temperatures (6-26 degrees C). Results from exposure of isolated gills showed a positive relationship between temperature and metal uptake. But in whole orga...
متن کاملDisseminated neoplasia in blue mussels, Mytilus galloprovincialis, from the Black Sea, Romania.
Disseminated neoplasia, also called leukemia or hemic neoplasia, has been detected in 15 species of marine bivalve mollusks worldwide. The disease is characterized by the presence of single anaplastic cells with enlarged nuclei and sometimes frequent mitosis, in hemolymph vessels and sinuses. The neoplastic cells gradually replace normal hemocytes leading to the increased mortality of animals. ...
