This paper presents results of measuring the contents of certain bio-indicators in samples of digestive gland and lung of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis). The results were obtained in the framework of the Program for monitoring ecological status in Montenegro during the 2009 and 2010 year. Biomonitoring program was conducted in accordance with the LBS Protocol (Protocol on the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea against pollution from land-based sources and land activities) and the criteria MED POL Programme (Mediterranean Pollution Control), which is compliant with the requirements of the European Environment Agency (EEA) and has established a system of reporting and data exchange with the EEA. The program includes the analysis of biomarkers in Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarc, 1819) (mussels), and dynamic sampling is 2 times a year (March and September). In order to assess the spatial distribution and temporal trends of pollution, followed by the response of various biomarkers presented at two positions in the coastal waters of Montenegro (Dobrota and Bijela) and three positions in Slovenia (bays Piran, Strunjan and Koper). Biomarker responses showed no difference between the positions of the different ecological status.
