Mercury in freshwater, estuarine, and marine fishes from Southern Brazil and its ecological implication. Kütter, V., T., Mirlean, N., Baisch, P., R., M., Kütter, M., T., & Silva-Filho, E., V. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 159(1-4):35-42, 2009.
Website abstract bibtex In this study, we measured the mercury concentration in 27 different fish species with high commercial value. Samples were taken from a region characterized by the diversity of aquatic environments. Mercury concentration in marine fish species varied from 30.4 to 216 ng g (-aEuro parts per thousand 1), while in estuarine species, it varied from 12.4 to 60.3 ng g (-aEuro parts per thousand 1). Compared to mercury concentration in marine species, none of the specimens from estuarine environment has reached a mercury concentration of 100 ng g (-aEuro parts per thousand 1). However, mercury concentrations in species from the freshwater Patos lagoon are remarkably higher (15.3 to 462 ng g (-aEuro parts per thousand 1)) than those from the estuarine or marine region. Even though mercury concentrations in these fish species did not exceed the maximum level (500 ng g (-aEuro parts per thousand 1)) allowed by WHO for human consumption, they represent the main food source for sea birds and mammals coming from South Pole during their migration period.
