Biomagnification of trace elements is increasingly evident in aquatic ecosystems. In this
review we investigate the drivers of biomagnification of mercury (Hg), arsenic (As) and …

Mercury (Hg) is a well-known toxicant which enters the marine environment by both natural
and anthropogenic sources. Consumption of fish and other seafood that contain …

Total mercury (THg), methylmercury (MeHg), and selenium (Se) concentrations were
measured in various commercially important fish species. The benefit–risk binomial …

The present study evaluated As, Hg, Pb and Cd burdens in both ecologically and
commercially important 314 marine fishes belonging to 47 species sampled along the …

Eating fish is often recommended as part of a healthful diet. However, fish, particularly large
predatory fish, can contain significant levels of the highly toxic methylmercury (MeHg) …

Selenium is an essential trace element in humans and animals and its role in selenoprotein
and enzyme antioxidant activity is well documented. Food is the principal source of …

Oily seafood is an important food source which contains several key nutrients beneficial for
human health. On the other hand, oily seafood also contains persistent organic pollutants …

Identifying metabolism and detoxification mechanisms of Hg in biota has important
implications for biomonitoring, ecotoxicology, and food safety. Compared to marine …

The study examines the levels of total mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) in the muscle tissue
of 12 commercially important fish species (n= 717) from 48 locations in the eastern Adriatic …

Bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in marine fish may pose a health
risk to human consumers. Using data from∼ 8400 individuals of 15 fish species collected in …
