Ingestion of Plastic Microfibers by the Crab Carcinus maenas and Its Effect on Food Consumption and Energy Balance
Andrew J. R. Watts,Mauricio A. Urbina,Mauricio A. Urbina,Shauna Corr,Ceri Lewis,Tamara S. Galloway +5 more
TL;DR: The results support the emerging paradigm that a key biological impact of microplastic ingestion is a reduction in energy budgets for the affected marine biota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaccumulation, biotransformation and trophic transfer of arsenic in the aquatic food chain.
TL;DR: Most of the studies on arsenic biotransformation, speciation, and trophic transfer have focused on marine environments; little is known about these processes in freshwater systems.

Relevance and applicability of active biomonitoring in continental waters under the Water Framework Directive
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the implementation and feasibility of a large-scale chemical biomonitoring approach for continental waters, considering the benefits and the limitations of existing biomonitors strategies, the factors that can affect data interpretation, and the choice of species with regard to the Water Framework Directive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trophic relationships and health risk assessments of trace metals in the aquaculture pond ecosystem of Pearl River Delta, China.
TL;DR: Concentrations of seven trace metals in aquaculture pond of PRD significantly decreased with increasing trophic levels, showing that these trace metals were trophically diluted in predatory and omnivorous food chains.

Bioavailability, accumulation and effects of heavy metals in sediments with special reference to United Kingdom estuaries: a review
G.W. Bryan,W.J. Langston +1 more
TL;DR: Various factors governing the bioavailability, bioaccumulation and biological effects of heavy metals in sediment-dominated estuaries are reviewed.

Aquatic arsenic: Toxicity, speciation, transformations, and remediation
Virender K. Sharma,Mary Sohn +1 more
TL;DR: The number of different arsenic species found in environmental samples and an understanding of the transformations between arsenic species has increased over the past few decades as a result of new and refined analytical methods.

Why Is Metal Bioaccumulation So Variable? Biodynamics as a Unifying Concept
TL;DR: It is suggested that a biologically based conceptualization, the biodynamic model, provides the necessary unification for a key aspect in risk: metal bioaccumulation (internal exposure).

Metal Contamination in Aquatic Environments: Science and Lateral Management
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an approach to managing metal contamination in suspended particulates and sediments based on integrative and weight-of-evidence (WEIA) approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can we determine the biological availability of sediment-bound trace elements?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that ingestion of sediments and uptake from solution may both be important pathways of metal bioaccumulation in deposit/detritus feeding species.
