Current paradigms regarding the bioaccumulation of mercury are rooted in observations that
monomethyl mercury (meHg) biomagnifies along pelagic food chains. However …

Biomagnification is the process where xenobiotic substances are transferred from food to an
organism resulting in higher concentrations compared with the source. It is widely believed …

There is increasing recognition of the quantitative importance of metal accumulation from
dietary pathways in different marine food webs. With a simple kinetic model requiring …

When looking for a book on fish toxicology, you might find one that discusses the
