description: Additional file 1: Table S1. ICP-MS parameters for metal and metalloid measurements. Table S2. GC parameters, GC temperature program and ICP-MS parameters for organotin measurements. Table S3. Correlation (p ≤ 0.05, non-directional) between the shell length of mussels and concentrations of analyses elements/compounds. Table S4. Correlation (p ≤ 0.05, non-directional) between the condition index of mussels and concentrations of elements/compounds. NS: North Sea, BS: Baltic Sea. Table S5. Correlation (p ≤ 0.05, non-directional) between the condition index of mussels and wet weight-based concentrations of elements/compounds—comparison between annual and monthly samples. NS: North Sea, BS: Baltic Sea. Table S6. Cd-concentrations (ng g−1 dry weight dw and wet weight ww) of monthly samples and annual composite samples of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis Complex) from North Sea and Baltic Sea sites. For comparison: BAC and EC maximum food level used by HELCOM and OSPAR (wet weight based data without respiratory water). Table S7. Pb-concentrations (ng g−1 dry weight dw and wet weight ww) of monthly samples and annual composite samples of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis Complex) from North Sea and Baltic Sea sites. For comparison: BAC and EC maximum food level used by HELCOM and OSPAR (wet weight based data without respiratory water). Table S8. Hg concentrations (ng g−1 wet weight) of monthly samples and annual composite samples of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis Complex) from North Sea and Baltic Sea site. For comparison: BAC and EC maximum food level used by HELCOM and OSPAR and the Water Framework Directive (Directive 2013/39/EU) (wet weight based data without respiratory water). Table S9. Comparison of Cd-thresholds used by HELCOM and OSPAR with Cd-concentrations in seasonal and annual composite samples of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis Complex) from North Sea and Baltic Sea sites (wet weight based data without respiratory water). Table S10. Comparison of Pb-threshold values used by HELCOM and OSPAR with Pb-concentrations in monthly samples and annual composite samples of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis Complex) from sampling sites North Sea and Baltic Sea sites (wet weight based data without respiratory water). Table S11. Comparison of Hg-thresholds used by HELCOM, OSPAR and the WFD with THg-concentrations in monthly and annual composite samples of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis Complex) from North Sea and Baltic Sea sites (wet weight based data without respiratory water). Figure S1. Biometrical parameters of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis Complex) from the sampling sites of the German environmental specimen bank in the North Sea (Eckwarderhoerne, Koenigshafen) and the Baltic Sea (Darsser Ort). Shown are data of monthly samples and of annual composite samples of the respective year (dark columns). Figure S2. Long-term trends and seasonal variations in concentrations of metals in blue mussel (Mytilus edulis Complex) sampled at the North Sea site Eckwarderhoerne. Upper row: long-term trends based on annual composite samples (continuous line = significant linear or non-linear trend; dashed line = trend not significant; p = 0.05); lower row: seasonal variation based on bi-monthly samples from 2013, 2015, and 2017. Figure S3: Long-term trends and seasonal variations in concentrations of metals in blue mussel (Mytilus edulis Complex) sampled at the North Sea site Koenigshafen. Upper row: long-term trends based on annual composite samples (continuous line = significant linear or non-linear trend; dashed line = trend not significant; p = 0.05); lower row: seasonal variation based on bi-monthly samples from 2013, 2015, and 2017. Figure S4. Long-term trends and seasonal variations in concentrations of metals in blue mussel (Mytilus edulis Complex) sampled at the Baltic Sea site Darsser Ort. Upper row: long-term trends based on annual composite samples (continuous line = significant linear or non-linear trend; dashed line = trend not significant; p = 0.05); lower row: seasonal variation based on 6-month samples from 2013, 2015, and 2017.
