This project models how the lugworm, a key species in European estuaries, accumulates toxic metals like cadmium and silver from its environment. By analyzing both laboratory and field data, it aims to predict the toxicity of these metals and contribute to environmental standards for sediment quality.
It is proposed to model the bioaccumulation of the toxic trace metals zinc (Zn) (essential), cadmium (Cd) and silver (Ag) (both non-essential) by an infaunal benthic invertebrate, the lugworm Arenicola marina, a keynote species in European estuaries, from solution and diet (sediment) using biodynamic modelling.
The predictions of a model constructed from biodynamic accumulation parameters (uptake and efflux rates, assimilation efficiencies) measured in the laboratory will be validated against fi…
