Linear parameters of the mussel body (L, mm) depending on time (t, yr) are well approximated by the exponential equation: L = L0 + b lg t and Hg concentration (C, μg/g dry weight): C = C0 + b1 lg t. Coefficients of equations represent different ecological conditions and levels of environmental pollution. Individual age of bivalve molluscs is a reliable integral biomarker to be applied in studying distribution of toxicants, e.g. mercury, in populations of mussels inhabiting different areas of the Black Sea shelf. Relationship between mercury content accumulated in soft tissues of mussels from the bays of Sevastopol and that in the seawater is described by Lengmure equation. |
