About

Model organisms have been used extensively in marine pollution studies to understand a range of biological phenomena, including the bioaccumulation and toxic effects of contaminants. This field of research is continuously developing, establishing existing methods as well as creating new tools and approaches to measure the potential impacts of contaminants in the marine environment.

For this Research Topic, we seek to compile a range of manuscripts that focus on the study of marine organisms as bioindicators, where marine organisms can provide an assessment of the concentrations of pollutants in the marine environment as well as the effects these contaminants are causing and the biological processes involved. We welcome manuscripts focusing on, but not limited to, the following questions:
• Which contaminants do we observe in marine organisms and what are the biological effects that they cause?
• What should represent (a) model organism(s) and how to select (a) model organism(s)?
• Is it possible to generalise the outcomes of a study with a model organism, to other organisms?
• How observations in model organisms and alternative approaches are linked?
• How chemical and biological effect thresholds developed with model organisms are applicable to other organisms?
• How to monitor contaminants and biological effects in frameworks such as the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD).
• Is it possible to predict ecological consequences of chemical contamination on key ecosystems?

This Research Topic aims to collect all article types: Original Research Articles, Short Communications, Reviews focusing on recent achievements in this field and short Perspectives.
