Review of Crayfish as Bioindicators for Aquatic Pollution and Food Safety

A 195.4 KB document authored by Maria V. Alvanou, last updated on 2026-05-08. This review synthesizes current knowledge on freshwater crayfish as bioindicators for chemical pollutants, linking environmental contamination to public health risks. It discusses tissue-specific bioaccumulation patterns for metals, organic pollutants, and microplastics.

Use Cases

• Designing biomonitoring frameworks based on crayfish tissue analysis mentioned in the description
• Assessing food safety risks from crayfish consumption in polluted regions as discussed in the review
• Identifying pollution sources and pathways using bioaccumulation patterns described for different crayfish tissues
