Journal ArticleDOI

Hg, Zn and Cu levels in the muscle and liver of tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) from the coast of Ishigaki Island, Japan : Relationship between metal concentrations and body length

TL;DR: The Muscle Hg levels were higher than liver concentrations in immature sharks, with the inverse trend observed in mature sharks, and the Zn and Cu concentrations in the liver tended to decrease with increasing body length.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification, quantification, and synthesis of a novel dimethoxylated polybrominated biphenyl in marine mammals caught off the coast of Japan.

TL;DR: This novel compound is consistently one of the most abundant compounds among those analyzed, including polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclodododecane (HBCDD), and methoxylated PBDEs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mercury and selenium concentrations in the internal organs of toothed whales and dolphins marketed for human consumption in Japan

TL;DR: A high correlation was observed between T-Hg and selenium (Se) concentrations in these organs, supporting the formation of a Hg-Se complex, which probably contribute to the detoxification of Hg for cetaceans and allows a very large accumulation of HG in livers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Total Mercury, Methyl Mercury, and Selenium Levels in the Red Meat of Small Cetaceans Sold for Human Consumption in Japan

TL;DR: The consumption of red meat from small cetacean species sold for human consumption in markets throughout Japan from 2000 to 2003 could pose a health problem for not only pregnant women but also for the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Worldwide mitochondrial DNA diversity and phylogeography of pilot whales (Globicephala spp.)

TL;DR: The presence of multiple unique haplotypes among SFPW from South Japan, together with previously documented morphological and ecological differences, suggests that the southern form represents a distinct subspecies and/or evolutionary significant unit.
