Effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on marine and freshwater microalgae - A review

Hiba Ben Othman et al.

Summary: This article provides the first synthetic review of the effects of PAHs on microalgae in experimental studies and aquatic ecosystems. Microalgae show different sensitivities to PAHs and photosynthesis, the key process carried out by microalgae, is the most impacted by PAH exposure. The effects of PAHs depend on dose, species, and environmental factors. Natural microalgal communities appear to be more sensitive to PAH contamination than microalgae in culture. The precise and accurate assessment of PAHs toxicity to microalgae will benefit from more rigorously designed experimental studies.

Distribution and accumulation of metals and metalloids in planktonic food webs of the Mediterranean Sea (MERITE-HIPPOCAMPE campaign)

Sandrine Chifflet et al.

Summary: Particle-size classes from different zones in the Mediterranean were analyzed for concentrations of biotic metals and metalloids. The offshore zone exhibited higher concentrations of these elements compared to the coastal zones. Atmospheric deposition and local anthropogenic inputs were identified as factors affecting biotic concentrations of certain elements. The biomagnification of essential elements varied in different zones, with copepods playing a significant role in the northern coastal zone.

Contamination of planktonic food webs in the Mediterranean Sea: Setting the frame for the MERITE-HIPPOCAMPE oceanographic cruise (spring 2019)

Marc Tedetti et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the experiential feedback and challenges related to the MERITEHIPPOCAMPE cruise in the Mediterranean Sea in spring 2019. The cruise proposed an innovative approach to investigate the accumulation and transfer of contaminants within planktonic food webs. The paper provides detailed information on the cruise operations, including sampling stations, strategy, and parameters analyzed, as well as the environmental conditions during the campaign. Additionally, it presents the articles produced based on the cruise work.

Spatial variations of biochemical content and stable isotope ratios of size-fractionated plankton in the Mediterranean Sea (MERITE-HIPPOCAMPE campaign)

Javier Angel Tesan-Onrubia et al.

Summary: During the MERITE-HIPPOCAMPE campaign in the Mediterranean Sea, plankton samples were collected from 10 stations from the French coast to the Gulf of Gabe`s. The study found that the sources of carbon and nutrients in plankton vary depending on the coast and offshore area, and the size and nutritional content of plankton increase with size. The results also highlight spatial variations in the trophic structure of plankton size-fractions, which can contribute to the assessment of plankton as a biological pump of contaminants.

Zooplankton biomass, size structure, and associated metabolic fluxes with focus on its roles at the chlorophyll maximum layer during the plankton-contaminant MERITE-HIPPOCAMPE cruise

Pamela Fierro-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that plankton plays a crucial role in the transfer of contaminants in the marine environment. The MERITE-HIPPOCAMPE cruise aimed to quantify contaminants in different size fractions of plankton along a transect in the western Mediterranean Sea. The study found that the composition and biomass of zooplankton varied according to size fractions and indicated a shift from herbivory-dominated to more diverse trophic structure among larger fractions.

Characteristics of plankton Hg bioaccumulations based on a global data set and the implications for aquatic systems with aggravating nutrient imbalance

Zhike Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated factors influencing mercury bioaccumulation by plankton in aquatic ecosystems worldwide, finding higher THg and MeHg concentrations in inland waters compared to nearshore waters and open seas. The study also revealed that MeHg concentrations increased with cell size, and a contrasting relationship between plankton biomasses and BAF(MeHg) was observed. The authors recommended incorporating potential influences of nutrient compositions on plankton growth and composition in future aquatic Hg modeling and ecological risk assessments.

Microbial production and consumption of hydrocarbons in the global ocean

Connor R. Love et al.

Summary: The study reveals that marine cyanobacteria predominantly produce n-pentadecane in oligotrophic gyres, and microbial hydrocarbon production shows stratification and diel cycling in the sunlit surface ocean. Chemical and isotopic tracing indicates that pentadecane production mainly occurs in the lower euphotic zone. It is estimated that the global flux of cyanobacteria-produced pentadecane exceeds total oil input in the ocean by 100- to 500-fold.

The biological pump effects of phytoplankton on the occurrence and benthic bioaccumulation of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) in a hypereutrophic lake

Qiqi Ding et al.

Summary: The study found that phytoplankton blooms have a significant impact on the distribution of organic contaminants in Lake Taihu, especially during the summer season. The biological pump effect resulted in more HOCs being sequestered from the water column to sediments and benthos. The contribution of phytoplankton led to the increased bioavailability and accumulation of HOCs in sediments.

Persistent Organic Pollutants Burden, Trophic Magnification and Risk in a Pelagic Food Web from Coastal NW Mediterranean Sea

Javier Castro-Jimenez et al.

Summary: The study found that plankton has high storage capacity for PBDEs and PCDD/Fs, whereas PCBs preferentially bioaccumulate in higher trophic levels. Weekly intake of dioxin-like POPs has surpassed the EU tolerable intake levels. The research highlights the presence of toxic chemical pollution in Mediterranean coastal waters.

Concentrations, sources and risks of PAHs in dissolved and suspended material particulate fractions from the Northwest Atlantic Coast of the Iberian Peninsula

Maria Joa et al.

Summary: The study found that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were present in seawater samples from three Iberian Atlantic habitats, mainly originating from petroleum and smoke. Although the calculated carcinogenic potential is low, both toxic equivalent factors and environmental risk coefficients indicate that the evaluated areas are not risk-free.
