Mercury (Hg) is a highly toxic element due to its high affinity for protein sulfhydryl groups,
which upon binding, can destabilize protein structure and decrease enzyme activity …

Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous metal in the ocean that undergoes in situ chemical
transformations in seawater and marine sediment. Most relevant to public health is the …

Seven deep-sea fish species were sampled in the Blanes Canyon area (NW Mediterranean)
at a depth of 1200 m during winter. The concentrations of nine metals were determined in …

Research into the effects of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems has increasingly
focused on natural CO 2 vents, although their intrinsic environmental complexity means …

Despite their remoteness, deep-sea species bioaccumulate mercury, mostly in the form of
the neurotoxin methylmercury (MeHg). Although the concentration of MeHg in the water …

Mercury (Hg) is a non-essential metal that can have toxic effects on the fitness of organisms
and tends to bioaccumulate with age and to biomagnify in higher trophic levels. Few studies …

Flesh of 141 fish specimens collected along the southern coast of New Caledonia, close to
the mining industry Prony Resources New Caledonia, were analyzed for 10 elements (As …

Seamounts, in general, are thought to support high biodiversity and special biological
communities. They have been targeted by commercial fishing for demersal and pelagic fish …

The relative contributions of proximity to mercury sources and trophic ecology to realized
axial muscle mercury concentrations were explored for three deep-water chondrichthyans …

The genesis of many giant mercury (Hg) deposits/belts is widely debated largely because of
a lack of reliable ore-forming age constraints. The LA-ICP-MS/MS dolomite U-Pb were …
