Mercury (Hg) is well studied and research continues as our knowledge of its health risks
increases. One expanding area of research not well emphasized to date is the endocrine …

Mercury is a potent neurotoxin, and increasing levels have led to concern for human and
wildlife health in many regions of the world. During the past three decades, studies in fish …

With contributions from more than 75 international experts, this second edition focuses on
toxic substances and how they affect ecosystems worldwide. It presents methods for …

We examined effects of dietary methylmercury (MeHg) on reproduction of fathead minnows
(Pimephales promelas). Juvenile fish were fed one of four diets until sexual maturity (phase …

Mercury (Hg) is an important environmental pollutant due to its highly toxic nature and
widespread occurrence in aquatic systems. The biokinetics of Hg in zooplankton have been …

A variety of methods have been used by numerous investigators attempting to link tissue
concentrations with observed adverse biological effects. This paper is the first to evaluate in …

Complex and ever changing in its forms and functions, the element mercury follows a
convoluted course through the environment and up the food chain. The process is …

Mercury is a global contaminant, which may be microbially transformed into methylmercury
(MeHg), which bioaccumulates. This results in potentially toxic body burdens in high trophic …

The study of contaminant accumulation and predictive model development expanded in the
1980s to include bioaccumulation from sediments, food chain biomagnification, and …
