Toxic Effects of Environmental Exposure on Bivalves

Dear Colleagues,

We are glad to invite you to submit a paper to contribute to improving current knowledge regarding the toxic impact of environmental stressors on Bivalves. In recent years, the global continuous rise of industrialization and urbanization processes has become a concern for aquatic biota. Among the various species employed in environmental toxicology studies, Bivalvia are certainly one of the most frequently adopted. Nevertheless, several issues regarding the engagement of biological pathways upon exposure to environmental stressors still remain unclear. It is therefore essential to conduct further research in this field given the crucial role it plays at both the ecological and commercial level due to the broad use of many species in aquaculture. We invite the submission of research articles and reviews regarding environmental toxicology in mussels.
