Mercury Monitoring

In Skiathos Island the water is not potable due to mercury contamination and salinization. The mercury’s origin is natural due to the existence of cinnabar in the Skiathos aquifer as a mineral in the Earth’s crust. The possibility of mercury contaminants ending up in the coastal area was investigated through a field experiment. Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were employed as mercury monitoring biomarkers at the outflow of the wastewater treatment of the island. Using the RNA:DNA ratio, it was revealed that the organisms were stressed after three months of exposure to Skiathos’ coastal waters. The mercury concentration was directly measured at the bulk mussels’ tissue showing differences between the station located at the outflow of the WWT and the reference station. Although the results may imply mercury contamination in the coastal area of the island, the precise origin of the mercury in mussels is difficult to define.

Devonian Age

The Bivalvia family has been traced back to the beginning of the Paleosoic Era (The Devonian age) and have survived to this day, with very small changes. While more common in the Mediterranean, the Black Sea has been penetrated by representatives of the family, most frequently along the coastal area. Representatives of the Mytilus genus, mussels are very common in the seas and oceans of the world. Mytilus Galloprovincialis Lamarck has long been considered as being only a variety of Mytilus edulis Linne. Anatomical studies have shown that there are sufficient differences in order to accurately distinguish the two species. This paper presents a characterization of the Mytilus galloprovincialis mussel, which is a valuable resource existing in the Black Sea ecosystem.
