Marine Bivalve Mollusks and Emerging Pollutants: Toxicological Impacts provides the most updated and comprehensive knowledge of the toxicological impacts of a variety of emerging pollutants on marine bivalve mollusk species. In addition to synthesizing recent toxicological findings, the book also discusses toxification mechanisms, current challenges, and future research prospects. Written by international experts, this book assesses new advances in the toxicological impacts of pollutants, including microplastics, bromide flame retardants, nanomaterials, pharmaceutical residues, personal care products, pesticides, and perfluorinated compounds. In addition, it details how these can affect reproduction, embryonic development, metabolism, and immune systems of marine bivalves. Behavioral responses and neuroendocrine regulation is also discussed. Toxification mechanisms are interpreted at both physiological and molecular levels. The book concludes with current research and environmental challenges and potentials for further, future study techniques.

Guangxu Liu is currently a Professor in the College of Animal Science at Zhejiang University. He obtained his bachelor and master’s degrees in marine biology from the Ocean University of China in 2001 and 2004, respectively. In 2009, he obtained his PhD in Marine Biology from the Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. Dr. Liu’s research interests mainly focus on the physiological and behavioral impacts of ocean acidification on marine animals and the impacts of ocean acidification on seafood safety. Dr. Liu has published more than 40 peer-reviewed articles in academic journals such as Scientific Reports, Science of The Total Environment, Marine Ecology Progress Series, Marine Environmental Research, and more.
