  1. Mussel watch programme in support of the WFD monitoring : the RINBIO and MYTILOS project Louis A. ROMAÑA Ifremer - France Workshop on ‘In-situ trialing for ecological ande chemical studies in support of the WFD implementation’ – 14-15 May 2008 - Pau

  2. RINBIO Network Assesment of chemical contamination on the French Mediterranean Coast

  3. Bio-monitoring of chemicals Advantages of sentinel organisms They concentrate the contaminants in their flesh in proportion to their bio-availability Contamination levels in the flesh reflect the average contamination of the water They enable us to compensate for contamination level fluctuations in the water The analisis is facilitated by higher contamination levels in the organisms They make it possible to evaluate the impact of pollutants on sea organisms

  4. Bio-monitoring of chemicals • Mussel : an internationally recognized bio- integrator • species which tolerates brutal environmental variations • well know physiology • an abundant widespread species, • easy to identify and collect • concentration factor of 103 to 105, without mortality • bio-accumulate dissolved and particular phases Passive - Biomonitoring •use of natural or cultivated mussels (mussel watch, RNO) Active Bio-monitoring • transplantation of a single sample Two strategies

  5. Active Biomonitoring : RINBIO Network • Species • Mytillus galloprovincialis • Same site, • low contamination levels • 16 months old • 50 mm long • Method • In a plastic bag • In 20 m to 30 m depth in open sea • On existing structures in lagoon ACTIVE BIOMONITORING • Contaminants • Heavy metals • Cd, Hg, Zn, Pb, Cu, As, Ni, Cr Organic • DDT,DDD,DDE, PCBs, PAHs Radioelements • 137 Cs, 60Co, 106 Ru, 40 K • Implantation • In sexuel inactivity period • (april to july) • For 3 month period

  6. RINBIO Network: easy use Number of stations and recuperation rates Campaigns 1996 - 84 stations - 84 % 1998 - 40 stations - 86 % 2000 - 97 stations - 95 % 2003 - 103 stations - 98 % 2006 – 101 stations – 96 %

  7. RINBIO Network : adjustment models Zinc Cadmium Mercury Lead Copper Arsenic Nickel Chrome Type 1 [CONT] = a* (1/( IC )) + b Type 2 [CONT] = a* (IC ) + b DDTs PCBs PAHs

  8. Station 8 [Cd = 0.12 * [1/CI] - 0.22] R2 = 87.9 cp < 0,0001 Station 9 Cadmium Station 87 Condition index

  9. RINBIO Network : Nickel

  10. RINBIO Network : Lead

  11. RINBIO Network : DDD

  12. Assesment of chemical contamination on the Occidental Mediterranean Coast MYTILOS PROJECT Science and Technology Park of Sicily Regione Siciliana Assessorato Industria Partners ICRAM

  13. Which Contaminants to analyse in MYTILOS Water Framework Directive Cadmium, Nickel , Lead, Mercury and its compouds Polyaromatic Hydrocarbon compounds : (Benzo(a)pyrène, Benzo(b)fluoroanthène, benzo(g,h,i)pérylène, Benzo(k)fluoroanthène, Fluoroanthène, Anthracène (16 compouds) DDT,DDD,DDE, PCBs, HCH PBDE Dioxins Nonylphénols , octylphenols Radionucleids compouds (Cs, Co)
