Our study reports the first data on mercury (Hg) isotope composition in marine European
fish, for seven distinct populations of the European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax. The use …

We measured total selenium and total mercury concentrations ([TSe] and [THg]) in hair (n=
138) and blood (n= 73) of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) from California to assess variation by …

High trophic level arctic beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) are exposed to persistent
organic pollutants (POP) originating primarily from southern latitudes. We collected samples …

The aim of this study was to monitor accumulation of cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), zinc (Zn),
copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) in the muscle, liver and kidney of wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa) …

Mercury (Hg) is a well-known toxicant in wildlife and humans. High total Hg concentrations
([THg]) have been reported in central California harbor seals Phoca vitulina richardii. We …

Chemical contaminants are known to accumulate in marine megafauna globally, but little is
known about how this impacts animal health. In vitro assays offer an ethical, reproducible …

It is widely recognized that marine mammals are exposed to a wide variety of pollutants, with
a weight of evidence indicating impacts on their health. Since hundreds of new chemicals …

Varying concentrations of the highly conserved acute phase response protein, haptoglobin,
can indicate changes to the health and disease status of mammals, including the Steller sea …

Mercury is a global contaminant that bioaccumulates in a tissue-specific manner in long-
lived predators such as Steller sea lions (SSL). Bone is a well-preserved material amenable …

Marine top predators such as ringed seals biomagnify environmental contaminants; and with
the increasing human activities in the Arctic, ringed seals are exposed to biologically …
