The increasing use of lithium (Li) in modern technology and medicine has raised up concerns in the scientific community due to the potential impact of this metal on the aquatic environment. Although several effects have been reported in different organisms, there is still scarce information concerning the mechanisms and chronic effects of Li toxicity in marine life. Our main objective is to determine biological effects of sub-lethal concentrations in Mytilus galloprovincialis at different biological organization levels using the biomarker approach.

- The study evaluates the common sole as a sentinel species for monitoring environmental contamination by comparing it with two similar flatfish species: common dab and European flounder.
- Findings show that sole has lower levels of some contaminants (like mercury and cadmium) but higher levels of others (such as PCBs and PFOS) and exhibits various biological responses indicative of sensitivity to pollution.
- The research concludes that due to its prevalence and responsiveness to chemical contaminants, the common sole is recommended for future ecotoxicological monitoring in marine environments.
The Western Mediterranean coast is under the influence of anthropogenic pressures, including land use, increasing amounts of dangerous waste and habitat destruction. In 2021, the French RINBIO network (http://www.ifremer.

Unfortunately, there is only scarce information concerning the toxicity of lithium in marine organisms. The objective of this study is to determine the toxicity of Li using Mytilus galloprovincialis as model organism, based on acute and sublethal toxicity tests.

The aim of this work is to assess the re-infection capacity of anisakid larvae in European seabasses, a natural host species for the parasite by feeding with pieces of parasitised hake liver under controlled experimental conditions.
Methods: To prove this potential link between manipulation and re-infestation, 50 farmed seabasses free of anisakid nematodes were fed with fresh hake liver pieces naturally infested with anisakid larvae.
