Author(s): Vinay Kumar Rao*
Against this historical backdrop, the Mediterranean Sea faces an
increasing threat from emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals,
personal care products, heavy metals, pesticides and microplastics,
which pose grave threats to the environment and human health. In
this regard, aquatic invertebrates and fish are particularly vulnerable
to the toxic effects of these contaminants, and several species have
been identified as biomarkers for their detection. Of these, mussels and
Erasmo twigs are now widely used as biomarkers to accurately assess
the effects of pollutants. This study focuses on the dogfish Scyliorhinus
canicular and the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. The
first value is a useful indicator of local pollution levels due to exposure
to contaminants that accumulate on the seafloor. In addition, it has a
high nutritional statu.. View More»
