Background: One of the main water contaminants are Hg, Cd, Pb and As. The chain of
contamination of these metals and metalloid follows a cyclical order: Industry, atmosphere …

The productive eastern boundary current (EBC) systems provide significant sources of
global marine protein and have been subject to intense research over the last 50 years. Yet …

We provided the first multi-species study investigating the presence and organotropism of
trace elements in three tissues of 12 elasmobranch species. Shark species showed …

Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) are vital to Morocco's artisanal fishermen both
nutritionally and economically. This study probed the bioaccumulation of trace metals zinc …

Impacted marine environments lead to metal accumulation in edible marine fish, ultimately
impairing human health. Nevertheless, metal accumulation is highly variable among marine …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous contaminants in the ocean. Zooplankton is thus widely
exposed to MP ingestion. Here, we use a global coupled physical–biogeochemical model …

Bioaccumulation of toxic metal elements including mercury (Hg) can be highly variable in
marine fish species. Metal concentration is influenced by various species-specific …

Small pelagic fish (SPF) species are heavily exploited in eastern boundary upwelling
systems (EBUS) as their transformation products are increasingly used in the world's food …

Concentrations of four trace metals (Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn) in surface sediments were quantified
seasonally to evaluate the metal contamination and to determine the possible environmental …

Abstract The Moroccan Southern Atlantic coast is mainly influenced by upwelling, Saharan
dust and anthropogenic micropollutant input. These factors contribute to increasing the …
