ABSTRACT
Society's interest in rare earth elements (REEs) and their increasing use in many fields is leading to enrichments in aquatic environments, such as estuaries. This study of the Seine estuary assessed the distribution of REEs along the food web, including different species from 5 phyla representing different trophic levels. Total REE concentrations, which were higher in algae, mollusks, crustaceans and annelids (4.85-156; 1.59-4.08; 2.48 ± 1.80 and 0.14 ± 0.11 µg/g dw, respectively) than in vertebrates (0.03-0.15 µg/g dw), correlated with δ15N indicated a trophic dilution. REE contributions in the studied species were higher for light REEs than for heavy and medium REEs. Positives anomalies for Eu, Gd, Tb and Lu were highlighted particularly in vertebrates, possibly due to species-dependent bioaccumulation/detoxification or related to anthropogenic inputs. The calculated BAF and BSAF indicated an important partitioning of REEs in organisms compared to the dissolved phase and a limited transfer from sediment to organisms.
