During 2015–2020, 26 cruises were carried out in a bay scallop farming area, North Yellow Sea, to study the dissolved oxygen (DO) dynamics and its controlling factors. Significant DO depletion (deoxygenation) was observed in the summertime with the decrease rates of 0.31–0.55 and 0.96–2.10 μmol d⁻¹ in the surface and bottom waters, respectively, which were comprehensively forced by temperature, photosynthesis and microbial respiration. Seasonally, temperature was the main driver of the deoxygenation processes. In the surface water, DO dynamics were dominated by temperature-induced solubility changes, while the photosynthesis offset the effects of physical processes to a certain extent; in the bottom water, its dynamics were mainly attributed to the comprehensive control of temperature-induced solubility changes and biological respiration. Overall, the results suggested that the occurrence of hypoxia and acidification in the coastal waters were highly associated with the formation of temperature-induced stratification under complex hydrodynamic processes.

Despite the benefits of shellfish consumption, the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in shellfish can endanger consumer’s health. The consumption of seafood in Shenzhen (a fast-developing metropolis in China) has received more and more attention. Arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb) in ten common shellfish species and associated health risks were analyzed for Shenzhen’s consumers by evaluating estimated weekly intake (EWI), non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks to children, adolescents, and adults. In this study, 50 shellfish samples were collected in total. The results showed that the levels of inorganic arsenic (iAs) in Babylonia areolata exceeded the maximum permissible limit set by the food safety guidelines (0.5 mg/kg), while other elements were below the limit in the present guidelines (Ministry of Health of the People’s Republic of China, GB 2762-2012). EWI values of children, adolescents, and adults were all lower than provisional tolerable weekly intakes (PTWIs) of all shellfish species. The analysis of total target hazard quotients (TTHQ) showed that the ingested B. areolata in children, adolescents, and adults were all at non-carcinogenic risks; the consumption of Argopecten irradians and Chlamys farreri would pose non-carcinogenic risks for children only. In all age groups, the consumption of A. irradians, B. areolata, C. farreri, and Crassostrea ariakensis would lead to lifetime cancer risk due to Cd bioaccumulation, with toxicity of Pb and iAs to be acceptable and negligible.

The distribution of the toxic elements As, Cd, and Pb in nine different types of seafood from Shenzhen, China, was investigated by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results revealed that the concentrations of arsenic (As) in fish (Lutjanus erythropterus, Paralichthys olivaceus) and in bivalve (Meretrix meretrix) and cadmium (Cd) in scallop (Argopecten irradians) exceed the limits established by food safety regulations in China and EU (European Union). Furthermore, the bioavailability of As, Cd, and lead (Pb) in mice after 20-day oral ingestion of Crassostrea rivularis was investigated, and the total rate of absorption of toxic elements in samples from the liver and kidney tissues and blood was determined. The results of this in vivo trial indicated that the oral bioavailability of As, Cd, and Pb was approximately 0.33, 0.45, and 0.74%, respectively.
