Faro Lake is a coastal meromictic lagoon with singular characteristics in the Mediterranean (Messina, Sicily - Italy). It is part of the Natural Oriented Reserve of Capo Peloro (38° 15' 57″ N; 15° 37' 50″ E). In this area, traditional mollusc farming activity persists, producing 'autochthonous' mussels. This study reports of the Mytilus galloprovincialis haemolymph chemical profile and water variables determination of 1 year-lasted survey (April 2016 - March 2017). The determinations of electrolytes (Na , Cl , K , Ca , Mg , P inorganic) and heavy metals in both Faro lake water and haemolymph have been carried out. Heavy metals are elements with high density and are quite toxic in low concentrations, such as Aluminum (Al), Arsenic (As), Cobalt (Co), Chrome (Cr), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Magnesium (Mg), Manganese (Mn), Lead (Pb), Tin (Sn), Zinc (Zn). Heavy metals toxicity depends, principally, on bioaccumulation processes. M. galloprovincialis is a good bio-indicator, ideal for assess levels of environmental pollution thanks to its biological, ecological and physiological characteristics. The results of this study showed a typical fluctuation range in haemolymph and water parameters, related to the water ones; chemical-physical parameters affected the ions (electrolytes and metals) levels in some period of the year. The study reports the interactions between biotic (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and abiotic (water parameters) components of Faro Lake, and creates reference data for further future study on the same area or on similar ones.
法罗湖是地中海（意大利西西里岛墨西拿）一个具有独特特征的沿岸半咸水泻湖。它是佩洛罗角自然保护区（北纬38°15′57″；东经15°37′50″）的一部分。在该地区，传统的贝类养殖活动仍在持续，产出“本地”贻贝。本研究报告了对1年期调查（2016年4月至2017年3月）中加利福尼亚贻贝血淋巴的化学特征及水体变量的测定情况。已对法罗湖湖水和血淋巴中的电解质（钠、氯、钾、钙、镁、无机磷）及重金属进行了测定。重金属是高密度元素，在低浓度时就具有相当的毒性，如铝（Al）、砷（As）、钴（Co）、铬（Cr）、铜（Cu）、铁（Fe）、镁（Mg）、锰（Mn）、铅（Pb）、锡（Sn）、锌（Zn）。重金属的毒性主要取决于生物累积过程。加利福尼亚贻贝是一种良好的生物指示物，因其生物学、生态学和生理学特征，是评估环境污染水平的理想选择。本研究结果显示，血淋巴和水体参数呈现出与水体相关的典型波动范围；在一年中的某些时期，物理化学参数会影响离子（电解质和金属）水平。该研究报告了法罗湖生物（加利福尼亚贻贝）与非生物（水体参数）成分之间的相互作用，并为该地区或类似地区的进一步未来研究创建了参考数据。
