Mercury (Hg) is a global contaminant that biomagnifies in food webs, raising concerns for food safety, fisheries exploitation, and wildlife conservation. Fish, including apex predators like sharks, ar...
Molluscs, especially octopus, is a nutritious seafood, containing high levels of proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals. However, marine pollution with heavy metals such as mercury (Hg)...
Seagrass meadows of Thalassia testudinum are key components of blue carbon ecosystems and effective bioindicators of environmental contamination due to their ability to incorporate both inorganic and ...
Trace elements occur naturally in the environment, but anthropogenic activities can amplify their release, increasing exposure and bioaccumulation in marine predators such as seabirds. Mercury (Hg) in...
Understanding mercury dynamics in invasive marine predators is essential for evaluating both ecological risks and human consumption safety. This study quantified total mercury (THg) and methylmercury ...
Marine pollution is an escalating global concern, and marine mammals are widely recognized as sentinels of cumulative chemical and biological stressors in coastal ecosystems. South American otariids (...
Levels of cadmium, copper, mercury, lead and zinc in fish from the Mexican Pacific are of interest because they are marine resources of great commercial value and high human consumption. To determine ...
Murcia coastline sustains high marine biodiversity but has suffered severe impacts from toxic heavy-metal discharges. We report mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) levels, and the Se:Hg molar ratio, in liv...
Mercury (Hg) is a toxic metal that biomagnifies through food webs, posing ecological and human health risks. The anchovy (Engraulis ringens), a key forage fish in the Humboldt Current System, sustains...
Mercury (Hg) is a globally concerning contaminant due to its persistence, toxicity, and biomagnification potential. Polychaetes, as sediment-dwelling invertebrates and key trophic intermediaries in be...
