Mercury (Hg) is a contaminant of global concern in marine ecosystems, notably due to its ability accumulate and concentrate food webs. Concentrations total mercury (THg), methylmercury (MeHg) inorganic (IHg) were assessed compared different tissues (liver, muscle, gonads) three common fish species (hake Merluccius merluccius, red mullet Mullus surmuletus, sole Solea solea) from the continental ...

Mercury concentrations in the Laurentian Great Lakes waters are among lowest reported literature, while game fish approach consumption advisory limits, particularly Superior, Huron, and Michigan, indicating efficient methylmercury transfer from water to fish. To determine if increased efficiency is evident within lower food web, we measured (2010–2018) mercury dissolved organic carbon (DOC) wat...

Postharvest losses from fungal pathogens to essential fruits and vegetables are enormous alarming. Orthodox synthetic fungicides being used as a regular practice restrict these losses. However, now by knowing the hazards of chemical-based fungicides, situation demands alternative green technology. Consequently, many angiosperms plant extracts have been evaluated for their antifungal nature achi...

Fish have habitats that are easily exposed to contamination from the environment such as heavy metal waste which can cause changes in structure and function of body tissues. One type enters river Lebong Regency River is gold mining processing uses mercury cyanide. Heavy metals enter organisms accumulation biomagnification occur bodies aquatic biota fish. There has been no research related fish ...

Subarctic lakes are getting warmer and more productive due to the joint effects of climate change intensive land-use practices (e.g. forest clear-cutting peatland ditching), processes that potentially increase leaching peat- soil-stored mercury into lake ecosystems. We sampled biotic communities from primary producers (algae) top consumers (piscivorous fish), in 19 subarctic situated on a latit...

In southern Puerto Rico along the coastline bordering Jobos Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, environmental encroachment has exposed mangrove forest to different sources of pollution. Potentially toxic element concentrations from F1Tess (exchangeable), F4Tess (oxidizable), leaf litter (MLL), and fiddler crab whole body soft tissue were analyzed assess fate transport pollutants environmen...
