2019, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :In Portugal, Ricardo et al. (2015a) were able to use ICP-MS TEF to assign cockle (Cerastoderma edule) individuals to their origin location with 92% classification success while more recently Ricardo et al. (2017) report classification success of 90% of cockles from eight areas along the coast of Portugal but were unable to differentiate between areas within bays. In these TEF seafood traceability studies to date, calcite structures are analysed over soft tissues, as the uptake of site-specific elements in shells is slower, increasing the likelihood of site-specific elemental signatures present in their composition (Koide et al., 1982; Szefer et al., 2002). However, past investigations using trace metal analyses for biomonitoring purposes have examined both soft tissues and shells of bivalves such as shells, byssus and soft tissues in M. edulis (Szefer et al., 2002) and soft tissues and shells in brown mussels Perna perna (Bellotto and Miekeley, 2007).

2016, Global and Planetary ChangeCitation Excerpt :The processes of metal elimination from soft tissues are not yet fully understood and will not be considered further here as metal accumulation in soft tissue and shell is the primary focus of this review. In addition to excretion, defecation or storage in a biologically inert form, the other methods of detoxification of heavy metals in bivalves involve the redistribution of metals into the periostracum, byssal threads and shell (Koide et al., 1982; Szefer and Szefer, 1985; Szefer et al., 1997, 1998, 1999, 2004). The role of the periostracum in detoxifying metals seems to vary between different species.
