Mercury bioaccumulation pathways in tusk (Brosme brosme) from Sognefjord, Norway: Insights from C and N isotopes
Mahjour Azad, Atabak; Frantzen, Sylvia; Bank, Michael; Madsen, Lise; Måge, Amund (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-11)Seafood is the main source of methylmercury (MeHg) exposure for humans and elevated total mercury (Hg) concentrations have been reported in marine fish from Norwegian fjords compared with offshore areas. Hg in tusk fillets ... -
