Active Biomonitoring of Metals with Cultured Anodonta woodiana: A Case Study in the Taihu Lake, China.
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology 2018 October 30
Freshwater bivalves (Anodonta woodiana), cultured in the Nanquan Aquaculture Base, were translocated to the water source area of Xidong Waterworks in the Taihu Lake for 18-months to biomonitor 13 metals, and determine the suitability of using these cultures as an indicator of long-term metal contamination. Mussel and water samples were analyzed every 6 months, with the Nanquan Aquaculture Base serving as control. Metal concentrations in water and mussels from both sites were generally within the Chinese permissible levels. Metal pollution indexes between the two sites were similar. However, the metal loads of mussels in the water source area of Xidong Waterworks were 57.3, 1.7, and 295.5-fold higher after 6-, 12-, and 18-months relative to the control mussels from the Nanquan Aquaculture Base, respectively. Moreover, the water area in Taihu Lake was moderately, considerably, and highly contaminated by Cd, Al, and Cu, respectively.
