This review addresses an important area of environmental and mammalian toxicology by
evaluating and comparing mercury-induced effects upon the immune responses of two …

The mercury (Hg) poisoning of Minamata Bay of Japan widely activated a global attention to
Hg toxicity and its potential consequences to the aquatic ecosystem and human health. This …

Alterations in the antioxidant cellular system have often been proposed as biomarkers of
pollutant-mediated toxicity. This study evaluated the effects of mercury on oxidative stress …

In our sustained effort to understand mechanisms of mercury toxicity in fish, the
histopathological effects of a 96-h acute exposure to water-borne inorganic mercury …

Marine fishes in South Florida (Florida Keys–Florida Bay–Everglades region) accumulate
higher concentrations of mercury (Hg) in their tissues than similar fishes from other areas of …

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that may exert its toxic effects on living organisms and is
found in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in three chemical forms; elemental, organic …

Aquatic habitat is affected by paper mill effluent discharge in many ways. The effect of paper
mill effluent on the gill ATPases was studied in freshwater fish Channa punctata (Bloch) …

Oysters have been largely employed as bioindicators of environmental quality in
biomonitoring studies. Crassostrea rhizophorae was selected to evaluate the health status of …

Mercury methylation may be enhanced in wetlands and humic-rich, blackwater systems that
crocodiles and alligators typically inhabit. Given their high trophic level and long life-spans …

Mercury (Hg) exposure poses a threat to both fish and human health. Sharks are known to
bioaccumulate Hg, however, little is known regarding how Hg is distributed between …
