Organotin compounds are ubiquitous contaminants in the environment. The high biological
acitivity of some compounds toward aquatic organisms lead to deleterious impacts in …

This article reviews progress in the research of methyl mercury (MeHg) and nutrient
interactions during the past two decades. Special emphasis is placed on the following three …

The primary mechanisms controlling the accumulation of methylmercury and inorganic
mercury in aquatic food chains are not sufficiently understood. Differences in lipid solubility …

When looking for a book on fish toxicology, you might find one that discusses the
biochemical and molecular aspects, or one that focuses aquatic toxicology in general. You …

The factors controlling the accumulation of mercury in fish are poorly understood. The oft
invoked lipid solubility of MMHg is an inadequate explanation because inorganic Hg …

Hypotheses that dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and electrochemical charge affect the rate
of methylmercury [CH3Hg (I)] synthesis by modulating the availability of ionic mercury [Hg …

A method was developed to measure mercury methylation and demethylation rate constants
simultaneously in aquatic samples. Solutions containing stable isotope tracers of 199Hg2+ …

Controlling bioaccumulation of toxic monomethylmercury (MMHg) in aquatic food chains
requires differentiation between biotic and abiotic pathways that lead to its production and …

Total (T–Hg) and organic (O–Hg) mercury concentrations and tissue distribution were
examined in 20 species of cephalopods (n= 278) from the north eastern Atlantic waters, ie …

Over the past 2 decades, great progress has been made in understanding the relationship of
metal speciation and biotic metal uptake in aquatic systems. Most work in this area has …
