Sharks and rays evolved 450 million years ago, during the Late Ordovician Period.
However, during the modern Anthropocene, shark populations have declined at …

Trace elements have the potential to bioaccumulate in marine organisms and to biomagnify
towards the upper levels of marine trophic webs, resulting in a range of negative effects on …

It is widely recognized that apex predators, such as large sharks with highly migratory
behavior, are particularly vulnerable to pollution, mainly due to biomagnification processes …

This study provides a first insight on the chemical characterization and quantification of silver
nanoparticles (AgNPs) and dissolved Ag in processed canned seafood products, where …

The potential bioaccumulation of pollutants, such as heavy metals, may pose a threat to the
western Mediterranean chondrichthyans and human consumers. Therefore, the first …

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter the marine food web, accumulate in
