TL;DR: A correlation between the metal levels found in the mussel soft tissues with those found in sediments, for both 2005 and 2006, could be established, except for the levels of Zn observed.

TL;DR: This perspective article highlights the importance of establishing collaborative frameworks using the example of Ocean4Biotech, an Action within the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) that connects all and any stakeholders with an interest in marine biotechnology in Europe and beyond.

TL;DR: Mussels soft tissue was analyzed for zinc, copper, lead, cadmium, arsenic and total mercury, and metals were found to be present in the samples at different levels, but not in concentrations higher than maximum residual levels prescribed by the EU and US Food and Drug Administration regulations for seafood.

TL;DR: In this article, the pollution level of Montenegrin coastal sediments by determining the concentrations of 10 metals and metalloids (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Cr, Cd, As, and Hg) during one whole decade was evaluated using the contamination factor, pollution load index, and geo-accumulation index, as well as statistical methods such as Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and cluster analysis (CA).

TL;DR: The concentration and accumulation of trace metals (Co, Ni, As, Cd, Pb and====== Hg) were measured in sea water, sediments and marine organisms in the Montenegrin coastline as discussed by the authors.
