Genetic Background and Metabolic Influence on Long-Term Lithium Bioaccumulation in Mytilus Mussels and Their Hybrids

Abstract Marine mussels are widely used as sentinel organisms in coastal biomonitoring, yet the biological mechanisms controlling the bioaccumulation of emerging metals remain poorly constrained. Climate change and anthropogenic disturbances are reshaping species distributions an...

High Lithium Bioaccumulation and Depuration Rates in Marine Mussels ( Mytilus edulis ): An Isotopic Perspective

Abstract The growing demand for lithium (Li), driven by its use in rechargeable batteries and energy storage technologies, raises concerns about its environmental impact, especially in coastal ecosystems, which serve as receptacles for many pollutants. This study quantifies the r...
