Description:
Dumped warfare material like munitions, unexploded ordnances and sunken war ships carry a significant risk of chemical leakage, posing threats to marine wildlife. To assess the hazard potential of explosives on marine biota a multi-biomarker analysis was conducted using blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) and fish (Trisopterus luscus) exposed at munition containing war-wrecks in the Belgian part of the North Sea. Chosen biomarkers were lysosomal membrane stability (LMS), lipofuscin (LIPF), neutral lipids (NL), glycogen (GLY) and the enzyme activity of catalase (CAT), glutathione-S transferase (GST) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Samples were taken in October 2019 and July 2020 by divers.
