Summary

This review argues for stronger integration of ecotoxicology with seafood safety assessments, using mussels and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as a model system to demonstrate how animal toxicological responses can improve human health risk estimates beyond chemical concentration measurements alone. The authors propose that ecotoxicological endpoints should be routinely incorporated into regulatory seafood monitoring frameworks.

The links between human and environmental sciences must be strengthened to enable complete and realistic toxicity assessments as despite the application of seafood assessments, especially to mussels, in bioassays, the connection between toxicological animal responses and risks associated with their consumption is still understudied.
