Geographic Differences in Persistent Organic Pollutant Levels of Yellowfin Tuna
BACKGROUND Fish are a source of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the human diet. Although species, trophic level, and means of production are typically considered in predicting fish pollutant load, and thus recommendations of consumption, capture location is usually not accounted for. OBJECTIVES Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) are harvested from across the world's oceans and are wid...
متن کاملPersistent organic pollutant levels in human visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue in obese individuals--depot differences and dysmetabolism implications.
BACKGROUND The role of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with endocrine disrupting activity in the aetiology of obesity and other metabolic dysfunctions has been recently highlighted. Adipose tissue (AT) is a common site of POPs accumulation where they can induce adverse effects on human health. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the presence of POPs in human visceral (vAT) and subcutaneous (scAT) adi...
متن کاملIncrease in mercury in Pacific yellowfin tuna.
Mercury is a toxic trace metal that can accumulate to levels that threaten human and environmental health. Models and empirical data suggest that humans are responsible for a great deal of the mercury actively cycling in the environment at present. Thus, one might predict that the concentration of mercury in fish should have increased dramatically since the Industrial Revolution. Evidence in su...
متن کاملLipid and fatty acid composition, and persistent organic pollutant levels in tissues of migrating Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus, L.) broodstock.
Lipid class, fatty acid and POP levels were measured in migrating Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) tissues caught off the Barbate coast, Spain. Tissue lipids were largely characterized by triacylglycerol, reflecting large energy reserves accumulated prior to reproductive migration. Fatty acid compositions of muscle, liver and adipose exhibited similar profiles, whereas gonads showed a higher affinit...
متن کاملNursery origin of yellowfin tuna in the Hawaiian Islands
Stable isotopes of carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) in otolith cores (first 2 mo of age) of young-of-the-year (YOY) yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares were used as natural tracers to predict the nursery origin of sub-adults (age-1) collected from the Hawaiian Islands. YOY fish were first collected from nurseries throughout the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) to determine whether δ13C and ...
