Persistence, toxicological effect and ecological issues of endosulfan – A review by Sathishkumar, Palanivel, Mohan, Kannan, Ganesan, Abirami Ramu, Govarthanan, Muthusamy, Mohd. Yusoff, Abdull Rahim, Gu, Feng Long

“…The occurrence of endosulfan residues in various environmental compartments (air, soil, and water) and biota (plants and animals) reported during 2016–2020 confirms its persistence and biomagnification probability in the ecosystem. The distribution pattern of endosulfan residues in the ecosystem is indicating both historical and recent input of endosulfan in the farmland. …”

Fate of booster biocides in aquatic ecosystem and its effects on blood cockle, Tegillarca granosa (Linnaeus, 1758) of some selected cultivation areas in Peninsular Malaysia by Mukhtar, 'Aqilah

“…Higher concentration of diuron and chlorothalonil were detected in the hermit crab, Clibanarius signatus at a concentration of 109.29 and 61.03 μg/kg wet weight, respectively, while 3,4-DCA concentration was highest in bivalve, Tegillarca granosa. The identified biomagnification factor (BMF) values indicate that biomagnification of these compounds have occurred in the studied subtidal food chain. …”

Methylmercury in the Gulf of Trieste (Northern Adriatic Sea): From Microbial Sources to Seafood Consumers by Mark E. Hines, Milena Horvat, Ingrid Falnoga, Stefano Covelli, Jadran Faganeli

“…The link between microbial production of toxic methylmercury (MeHg), and its bioaccumulation and biomagnification in marine food webs of the gulf is at present rather poorly characterized but is critical to understanding the links between sources and higher trophic levels, such as fish, that are ultimately vectors of human and wildlife exposure. …”

Bioconcentração e biomagnificação de metilmercúrio na baía de Guanabara, Rio de Janeiro by Helena A. Kehrig, Olaf Malm, Elisabete F. A. Palermo, Tércia G. Seixas, Aída P. Baêta, Isabel Moreira

“…The successive amplification of methylmercury concentrations and its bioconcentration factor with increasing trophic levels from base to top indicate that biomagnification may be occurring along the food web. Results suggest the importance of feeding habits and trophic level in the bioaccumulation of methylmercury by aquatic biota.…”

Heavy metals accumulation in fish, a growing threat in the Caspian Sea by Javid Imanpour Namin, Mohammad Forouhar Vajargah

“…Several studies conducted by authors and other researchers in the riparian countries of the Caspian Sea shows an increasing trend in heavy metal load via bioaccumulation and biomagnification in various tissues of sturgeons arguably the most valuable fish on the planet and also other bony fishes of great importance for local people and fishermen which rises health concern for fish itself and human. …”

Microbial involvement in iodine cycle: mechanisms and potential applications by Eva Duborská, Hana Vojtková, Michaela Matulová, Michaela Matulová, Martin Šeda, Peter Matúš

“…Due to the biophilic character of iodine radionuclides and their enormous biomagnification potential, their elimination from contaminated environments is essential to prevent the spread of radioactive pollution in ecosystems. …”

Contrasting food web factor and body size relationships with Hg and Se concentrations in marine biota. by Roxanne Karimi, Michael Frisk, Nicholas S Fisher

“…Finally, Hg was more strongly associated with length and trophic level across taxa than Se, consistent with a greater degree of Hg bioaccumulation in the body over time, and biomagnification through the food web, respectively. Overall, our findings indicate distinct taxonomic and ecological Hg and Se patterns in commercially important marine biota, and these patterns have nutritional and toxicological implications for seafood-consuming wildlife and humans.…”

Levels and sources of PCDDs, PCDFs and dl-PCBs in the water ecosystems of central Poland — A mini review by Marek Zieliński, Joanna Kamińska, Marta Czerska, Danuta Ligocka, Magdalena Urbaniak

“…Their stability and resistance to thermal breakdown made them very dangerous for environment and, in consequence, due to their environmental persistence, bioaccumulation and biomagnification in the terrestrial and aquatic food chains, to humans. …”

Dataset of concentrations of mercury and methylmercury in fish from a tropical river impacted by gold mining in the Colombian Pacific by Carlos Salazar-Camacho, Manuel Salas-Moreno, Roberth Paternina-Uribe, José Marrugo-Negrete, Sergi Díez

“…Further, THg and MeHg concentrations were related with the trophic level to show biomagnification, and with total length to show bioaccumulation, which is important to establish the potential risk to the environment and also to the health of the inhabitants living along the basin from the consumption of fish.…”

Microcystins in planktonic and benthic food web components from Greenlandic lakes by Jessica V. Trout‐Haney, Kathryn L. Cottingham

“…Microcystin concentrations generally decreased with increasing trophic position, suggesting that biomagnification does not occur in these lakes. We conclude that MCs are prevalent in multiple components of these Arctic aquatic food webs and that both benthic and pelagic taxa may be sources of MCs.…”

Presence of Cr, Cu, Fe and Pb in sediments underlying mussel-culture rafts (Arosa and Vigo rias, NW Spain). Are they metal-contaminated areas? by R Prego, U Otxotorena, A Cobelo-García

“…Only a certain contamination was detected in the underlying surface sediments of polygons from the inner (Cu, Pb) and middle (Pb) zones of Vigo Ria; however, the increase in metal concentrations in sediments below rafts depends more on landbased anthropogenic sources than on the presence of mussel rafts or biomagnification processes. …”

Cytogenotoxicity biomarkers in fat snook Centropomus parallelus from Cananéia and São Vicente estuaries, SP, Brazil by Aline A. Kirschbaum, Robson Seriani, Camilo D. S. Pereira, Andrea Assunção, Denis M. de Souza Abessa, Matheus M. Rotundo, Maria J. T. Ranzani-Paiva

“…Centropomus parallelus , an important food resource for local populations, is a predator fish that feeds on small fishes and benthic invertebrates, thus being vulnerable to the bioconcentration and biomagnification processes. This study aimed to evaluate cytogenotoxic responses in erythrocytes from C. parallelus juveniles collected in the Cananéia and São Vicente estuaries, both in winter and in summer. …”
