Primarily based on the salinity gradient, a total of 26 sites around Vitória Island were selected for sampling of water, SPM, sediments and organisms. Besides tissue metal levels, the condition index and energy stores (glycogen, lipid and protein) were quantified as an indicator of fitness in response to metal pollution. Dissolved metals in water indicate that Cd and Mn content was higher along Espírito Santo Bay, while Al, Co, Cu, Cr and Fe were elevated in the sites with low salinity such as river mouths, estuarine and sewage canals. Likewise, suspended matter sampled from low salinity sites showed a higher heavy metal load compared to moderate and high salinity sites. Though mussels were sampled from different sites, the contamination for Cd, Cu, Fe and Mn was higher in mussels inhabiting low salinity sites (<i>M. guyanensis</i> and <i>M. falcata</i>) compared to <i>P. perna</i>, a high saline water inhabitant. However, a higher Zn body burden was observed for <i>P. perna</i> compared to <i>Mytella</i> species. Tissue Fe accumulation (but not Mn and Zn) correlated with heavy metal levels in suspended material for all three species, and for <i>M. falcata</i> this correlation also existed for Cd and Cu. Energy store and condition index in all mussels varied depending on the sampling sites and correlated with salinity gradient rather than tissue metal concentration. Overall, metal concentration in mussels did not exceed the safe levels as per the international standards for metals, and would be of no risk for human consumption.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Linking environmental heavy metal concentrations and salinity gradients with metal accumulation and their effects: a case study in 3 mussel species of Vitoria estuary and Espirito Santo bay, Southeast Brazil","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-05 01:31:03.486321","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Biomonitoring; Mussels; Perna perna; Mytella falcata; Mytellaguyanensis; Suspended particulate matter; Energy store; Condition index","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2015,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2020-06-24","DateCreate":"2016-05-29","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000353910900001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1016/j.scitotenv.2015.03.139"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":256938,"PubliDate":2015,"Pagination":"1-15","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"523","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43780,"SerRR":"Science of the Total Environment.
