This study aims to understand cadmium dispersal and bioaccumulation in blue mussels within a temperate estuary.
Developed a three-dimensional model of cadmium dispersal and bioaccumulation in blue mussels in Roskilde Fjord.
Utilized available cadmium observations and numerical modeling to link hydrodynamics to cadmium retention.
Assessed model performance against monitoring data and identified data availability limitations.
Cadmium concentrations in blue mussels were enhanced in areas with longer water residence times, despite lower contemporary inputs.
Model simulations reproduced observed spatial gradients of cadmium concentrations in mussels.
Data gaps hinder model accuracy and regulatory assessments, revealing inconsistencies in Environmental Quality Standards.
