Among the commercial mollusks from the Black Sea, the ark clam Anadara kagoshimensis, the oyster Crassostrea gigas, the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, the scallop Flexopecten glaber ponticus, and the gastropod Rapana venosa hold the top positions in terms of cultivation and harvesting volumes. Mollusk shells are attracting attention due to their potential use in various biotechnological applications, including nutraceutical production. In the present study, using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, concentrations of essential trace elements (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Se, Mo, and I) were measured in shells of the five mollusks sampled from the same biotope. The essential element concentrations in the mollusk shells differed significantly. The highest concentrations of Cr, Mn, and I were found in Anadara shells; Fe and Co in Crassostrea shells; Zn in Mytilus shells; and Cu and Se in Rapana shells. Principal component analyses demonstrated the overall accumulation of all elements as the main cause of the total data variance and the species-specific accumulation of certain elements as the second most important source of the data dispersion. Matrices of element concentration correlations showed considerable dissimilarity, which suggested species specificity in the concerted or competing element accumulation. Powdered shells of Anadara, Crassostrea, and Rapana are most suitable to fulfill the daily human requirements for many essential elements, and the consumption of these powders in amounts of less than a few tens of grams appears to be sufficient for this purpose.

Rare earth elements (REE) are a class of increasingly used high-tech product components and new emerging environmental pollutants, which are accumulated, in particular, in marine biota. In this study, REE contents were estimated in shells of several molluscs common in the Black Sea. The summed REE contents in mollusc shells decreased in the following order of species: Magallana gigas = Anadara kagoshimensis > Flexopecten glaber ponticus ≥ Rapana venosa > Mytilus galloprovincialis, ranging from 0.46 to 1.9 mg·kg−1. Canonical analysis of principal coordinates allowed for the correct identification of species based on the REE composition in no fewer than 67% of the samples. The mollusc shells were anomalously enriched in Sc, Y, La, Eu and Tb, most likely due to anthropogenic contamination. The Y/Ho ratios in all samples were represented by two fit values: 23.2 (chondritic) and 67.6 (superchondritic, mainly associated with A. kagoshimensis). A new universal relationship linking the contents of three light and heavy REE in Black Sea mollusc shells was proposed: Ce0.3 Er0.7/Yb = 2.00 ± 0.46 (mean ± standard deviation). Full article
