Co-occurrence of contaminants in marine fish from the North East Atlantic Ocean: Implications for human risk assessment
Ho, Quang Tri; Bank, Michael; Mahjour Azad, Atabak; Nilsen, Bente Merete; Frantzen, Sylvia; Boitsov, Stepan; Måge, Amund; Kögel, Tanja; Sanden, Monica; Frøyland, Livar; Hannisdal, Rita; Hove, Helge Torbjørn; Lundebye, Anne-Katrine; Nøstbakken, Ole Jakob; Madsen, Lise (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Marine fish from the North East Atlantic Ocean (NEAO) are nutrient rich and considered a valuable economic resource. However, marine fish are also a major dietary source of several contaminants, including persistent organic ... -
Congener-specific accumulation of persistent organic pollutants in marine fish from the Northeast Atlantic Ocean
Ho, Quang Tri; Frantzen, Sylvia; Nilsen, Bente Merete; Nøstbakken, Ole Jakob; Mahjour Azad, Atabak; Duinker, Arne; Madsen, Lise; Bank, Michael (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in marine fish may pose a health risk to human consumers. Using data from ∼8400 individuals of 15 fish species collected in the North-East Atlantic Ocean (NEAO), we ... -
Effects of geography and species variation on selenium and mercury molar ratios in Northeast Atlantic marine fish communities
Azad, Atabak Mahjour; Frantzen, Sylvia; Bank, Michael; Nilsen, Bente Merete; Duinker, Arne; Madsen, Lise; Måge, Amund (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-01)Methylmercury (MeHg) is a potent neurotoxin that bioaccumulates in seafood. Co-occurrence of selenium (Se) may affect the bioavailability and toxicity of MeHg in organisms. Here we report the concentrations of total mercury ... -
Rapid temporal decline of mercury in Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides)
Bank, Michael; Frantzen, Sylvia; Duinker, Arne; Amouroux, David; Tessier, Emmanuel; Nedreaas, Kjell; Måge, Amund; Nilsen, Bente Merete (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Mercury (Hg) pollution in the ocean is an issue of global concern, however bioaccumulation regimes of this ubiquitous pollutant in marine apex predators have important knowledge gaps. Our fish length and stable isotope ...
