AB  - The non-native freshwater magnificent bryozoan Pectinatella magnifica
   (Leidy, 1851) was firstly recorded in the summer of 2011 from the Danube
   River (side arm Rackevei-Soroksari Duna downstream from Budapest).
   Despite intensive research along the length of the Danube River between
   Budapest and Belgrade in 2001-2013, it has not been detected to expand
   its range. Recently, the species has distributed rapidly in the
   900-km-long downstream stretch of the Danube River. The species was
   found at ten sites, between river kilometres 1586 (Hungary, downstream
   from Budapest) and 685 (the Romanian-Bulgarian stretch of the Danube
   River). The highest colony abundance was recorded from the Iron Gate
   (Derdap) sector that is influenced by the backwater effect of the Iron
   Gate dams. Our findings reveal the capacity of this bryozoan to spread
   extremely rapidly and to invade successfully stretches of rivers that
   are exposed to hydromorphological pressures.

AB  - The effects of ex situ exposure of Mytilus galloprovincialis to
   Superdispersant-25 (S-25), diesel oil and dispersed diesel oil mixtures
   were studied by the impact on level of DNA damage in haemocytes (comet
   assay) and the cardiac activity patterns of mussels. Specimens were
   exposed for 72 h in a static system to diesel oil (100 mu L/L and 1
   mL/L), S-25 (5 and 50 mu L/L), and dispersed diesel oil mixtures M1
   (diesel oil 100 g mu L/L + S-25 5 mu L/L) and M2 (diesel oil 1 mL/L +
   S-25 50 mu L/L). For positive control 40 mu M CdCl2 was used. The comet
   assay results indicated genotoxic potential of S-25 while the effects of
   diesel oil alone were not observed. The highest response was detected
   for M1 while the effects of M2 were not detected. The heart rate
   disorders were recorded for the diesel oil (1 mL/L), S-25 (50 mu L/L)
   and both dispersed diesel oil mixtures. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All

AB  - Genotoxic response of freshwater mussels U. tumidus and U. pictorum to
   environmental stress was studied using comet assay on hemocytes and gill
   cells. The mussels were acclimated to controlled laboratory conditions
   for 10 days, and then exposed at 4 sites in the Sava and Danube rivers
   in the area of the city of Belgrade. Samples of each species were taken
   after 7, 14, and 30 days of exposure. The mussels sampled immediately
   after acclimation served as controls. Genotoxic response in both species
   was induced earlier at sites receiving untreated wastewaters from the
   city's main collectors (7 days), than at the site receiving only
   domestic wastewaters from small settlements located upstream from the
   city (30 days). There was a correlation between the comet tail intensity
   values in tissues of exposed mussels and the concentrations of zinc,
   copper, iron, and arsenic at the exposure sites. The genotoxic responses
   in both tissues of U. pictorum and in hemocytes of U. tumidus were
   similar, while U. tumidus gill cells failed to exhibit significant
   genotoxic response at two sites. These findings, together with higher
   mortality of U. tumidus at the most polluted sites, promote U. pictorum
   as a model for genotoxicity monitoring in freshwater environments.

AB  - Specimens of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis were collected from
   five sites in the Boka Kotorska Bay (Adriatic Sea, Montenegro) during
   the period summer 2011-autumn 2012. Three types of tissue, haemolymph,
   digestive gland were used for assessment of DNA damage. Images of
   randomly selected cells were analyzed with a fluorescence microscope and
   image analysis by the Comet Assay IV Image-analysis system. Three
   parameters, viz, tail length, tail intensity and Olive tail moment were
   analyzed on 4200 nuclei per cell type. We observed variations in the
   level of DNA damage in mussels collected at different sites, as well as
   seasonal variations in response. Sum of ranking differences (SRD) was
   implemented to compare use of different types of cell and different
   measure of comet tail per nucleus. Numerical scales were transferred
   into ranks, range scaling between 0 and 1; standardization and
   normalization were carried out.
   SRD selected the best (and worst) combinations: tail moment is the best
   for all data treatment and for all organs; second best is tail length,
   and intensity ranks third (except for digestive gland). The differences
   were significant at the 5\% level. Whereas gills and haemolymph cells do
   not differ significantly, cells of the digestive gland are much more
   suitable to estimate genotoxicity. Variance analysis decomposed the
   effect of different factors on the SRD values. This unique combination
   has provided not only the relative importance of factors, but also an
   overall evaluation: the best evaluation method, the best data
   pre-treatment, etc., were chosen even for partially contradictory data.
   The rank transformation is superior to any other way of scaling, which
   is proven by ordering the SRD values by SRD again, and by cross
   validation. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
