As a principal source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (3FAs), which provide vital health
benefits, fish consumption also comes with the additional benefit of being rich in diverse …

This chapter reviews the concentrations of several major metal contaminants in bivalve
mollusks collected from different regions of the world. Bivalve mollusks considered in this …

Trace elements were measured in the edible tissues of target marine species (Sardina
pilchardus, Mullus barbatus, Mullus surmuletus, Merluccius merluccius and Parapenaeus …

The increasing amounts of heavy metals entering aquatic environments can result in high
accumulation levels of these contaminants in fish and their consumers, which pose a serious …

It is commonly assumed that most (> 95%) of the mercury (Hg) found in fish muscle is the
toxic form, methylmercury (MeHg), due to its efficient assimilation and retention in biotic …

Biomagnification of mercury (Hg) in the Scotia Sea food web of the Southern Ocean was
examined using the stable isotope ratios of nitrogen (δ 15 N) and carbon (δ 13 C) as proxies …

This study aimed to speciate and quantify potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), in addition to estimate potential human health risk of PTEs …

Bioaccumulation is defined as the increase of contaminant concentrations in aquatic
organisms following uptake from the ambient environmental medium. Different sources of …

Intake of fish contaminated with non-essential hazardous trace elements poses a significant
risk to human health. In this study, trace elements (As, Pb, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn) were …

Mercury (Hg) in fish has attracted public attention for decades, and methylmercury (MeHg) is
the predominant form in fish. However, the in vivo MeHg demethylation and its influence on …
