Journal ArticleDOI

Mercury distribution in key tissues of fish (Liza aurata) inhabiting a contaminated estuary-implications for human and ecosystem health risk assessment.

C.L. Mieiro, +3 more
- 01 May 2009 - 
TL;DR: The high mercury levels found in organs involved in vital physiological processes point out the risk to autochthonous fish fauna.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mercury biomagnification in a contaminated estuary food web: effects of age and trophic position using stable isotope analyses.

João P. Coelho, +4 more
- 15 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: Results confirm mercury biomagnification to occur in this estuarine food web, especially in the organic form, both in absolute concentrations and fraction of total mercury load.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain as a critical target of mercury in environmentally exposed fish (Dicentrarchus labrax) - bioaccumulation and oxidative stress profiles.

C.L. Mieiro, +3 more
- 01 Jun 2011 - 
TL;DR: Evaluating brain pro-oxidant status in wild European sea bass captured in an estuarine area affected by chlor-alkali industry discharges increases the knowledge on mercury neurotoxicity in feral fish, highlighting that the definition of critical tissue concentrations depends on environmental variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid peroxidation vs. antioxidant modulation in the bivalve Scrobicularia plana in response to environmental mercury--organ specificities and age effect.

Iqbal Ahmad, +7 more
- 01 Jun 2011 - 
TL;DR: Assessment of mercury burden and its association to damage vs. antioxidant protection in the bivalve Scrobicularia plana environmentally exposed to mercury revealed that both organs were able to mirror external levels of exposure in the accumulation of total and organic mercury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metallothioneins failed to reflect mercury external levels of exposure and bioaccumulation in marine fish--considerations on tissue and species specific responses.

C.L. Mieiro, +6 more
- 01 Sep 2011 - 
TL;DR: Overall, the applicability of metallothioneins content in fish tissues as biomarker of exposure to mercury was uncertain, reporting limitations in reflecting the metal exposure levels and the subsequent accumulation extent.
