In this study, cellular biomarkers and heavy metal concentration in the Mytilus galloprovincialis L. (Mediterranean mussels) collected from eight sites of Izmir Bay (Turkey) were determined to reveal water pollution for the first time in these stations. Results show that heavy metals (As, Cu, Hg, Zn, Cd, Sn, Pb) have been specified in mussels’ tissues collected from all stations. According to GST, SOD, CAT activities, and TBARS contents, mussels in the outer bay have exposed more oxidative stress than the ones in the inner bay. Digestive gland tissues of them were showed more inhibition at AChE levels than gills. Also, abnormal nucleus rates and micronucleus frequencies (MN) were found to be higher in the inner bay than in the outer bay. This study showed that heavy metal pollution in different levels is an environmental issue on the Izmir Bay. Especially the coastal regions of the bay have been extremely affected by anthropogenic effects due to growing population.

在这项研究中， Mytilus galloprovincialis中的细胞生物标志物和重金属浓度从伊兹密尔湾（土耳其）的 8 个地点收集的 L.（地中海贻贝）被确定为首次在这些站中揭示水污染。结果表明重金属（As、Cu、Hg、Zn、Cd、Sn、Pb）已在从所有站点收集的贻贝组织中进行了规定。根据 GST、SOD、CAT 活性和 TBARS 含量，外湾的贻贝比内湾的贻贝暴露出更多的氧化应激。它们的消化腺组织在乙酰胆碱酯酶水平上表现出比鳃更多的抑制作用。此外，发现内湾的异常核率和微核频率 (MN) 高于外湾。这项研究表明，不同程度的重金属污染是伊兹密尔湾的一个环境问题。
