Chemicals used for maintenance of wood rafts in mussel farms: evaluation of their potential toxic risk to mussel culture

At the Galician coast, mussels are cultured on vertical ropes attached to floating rafts, which are cleaned in situ with tars or waterproof paints. The present study analyses the composition and the toxic risk of several compounds used during maintenance, in order to improve mussel-farming practices...

The MTO showed mutagenic effects that were significantly higher than those of CT and PT but still less than expected, suggesting that the mutagenic potential of all 3 mixtures depends on their concentration and composition, which determine their solubility and biodegradability. The WP did not show mutagenic effects. Our results suggest that the use of WP and PT is more suitable for the maintenance of rafts and could reduce the pollutant impact in the mussel farms.Y RuizP SuárezA AlonsoE LongoF San JuanInter-ResearcharticleAquaculture.
