Mercury distribution in key tissues of fish (Liza aurata) inhabiting a contaminated estuary-implications for human and ecosystem health risk assessment.
This study brings a new viewpoint based on multiple-tissue analyses to form the basis for a predictive mode of mercury accumulation dynamics in fish body under field conditions. Total mercury (T-Hg) was determined in key tissues of Liza aurata captured along an estuarine contamination gradient, displaying the following hierarchy: kidney > liver > muscle > brain > gills > blood. Brain was the ti...
متن کاملTotal mercury and methylmercury in fish from a tropical estuary
Mercury content, as methylmercury, in aquatic biota varies greatly among species from the same location. Many parameters may affect its accumulation and concentration in fish tissues. The study assessed total mercury (T-Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in the muscle, liver and gonad of Micropogonias furnieri carnivorous fish, Bagre spp. omnivorous fish and Mugil liza iliophagous fish from a pollute...
متن کاملInter- and intraspecific variation in mercury bioaccumulation by snakes inhabiting a contaminated river floodplain.
Although mercury (Hg) is a well-studied contaminant, knowledge about Hg accumulation in snakes is limited. The authors evaluated Hg bioaccumulation within and among four snake species (northern watersnakes, Nerodia sipedon; queen snakes, Regina septemvittata; common garter snakes, Thamnophis sirtalis; and rat snakes, Elaphe obsoleta [Pantherophis alleghaniensis]) from a contaminated site on the...
متن کاملMercury Bioaccumulation and Adverse Reproductive Effects in Snapping Turtles Inhabiting a Historically Contaminated River
Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that has received much attention due to its ability to persist within the environment and biota. Currently, most ecotoxicology studies euthanize animals to quantify the concentrations of Hg bioaccumulation. The development of nondestructive sampling techniques is a critical step for sustainable spatial and temporal monitoring of Hg accumulation because it elim...
متن کاملMercury speciation, reactivity, and bioavailability in a highly contaminated estuary, Berry's Creek, New Jersey Meadowlands.
Speciation and reactivity of mercury were examined in Berry's Creek estuary downstream of a highly mercury-contaminated U.S. EPA Superfund site during the summers of 2002 and 2003. Surface water samples from Berry's Creek estuary, its confluence with the Hackensack River, and upstream of that confluence were analyzed for total (THg), particulate (PHgT), and dissolved (DHg) mercury, total and pa...
