Determination of essential elements (copper, manganese, selenium and zinc) in fish and shellfish samples. Risk and nutritional assessment and mercury-selenium balance.
TLDR
Levels of Cu, Mn, Se and Zn have been determined in fresh, canned and frozen fish and shellfish products and all the species analyzed showed beneficial Hg:Se ratios and Se-HBVs, except for the shark species because of their high Hg levels and low Se content.About:

Chemical composition and ecotoxicity of plastic and car tire rubber leachates to aquatic organisms
TL;DR: Evidence is provided of the relationship between chemical composition and toxicity of plastic/rubber leachates, which ranged from slightly to highly toxic to mussels and algae, highlighting the need for a better understanding of the overall impact of plastic-associated chemicals on aquatic ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating a probable relationship between microplastics and potentially toxic elements in fish muscles from northeast of Persian Gulf
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MPs and Hg in all species and Se in benthic species increase with size, while relationship between other metals, and fish size is not consistent, and consumption of high doses of the studied fish may pose a health threat to the consumers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shellfish: nutritive value, health benefits, and consumer safety.
TL;DR: The nutritional value and health benefits of shellfish items are highlighted and the various control measures to safeguard consumer safety with respect to the products are pointed out.

Fish, a Mediterranean source of n-3 PUFA: benefits do not justify limiting consumption.
Angel Gil,Fernando Gil +1 more
TL;DR: For major health outcomes among adults, the vast majority of epidemiological studies have proven that the benefits of fish intake exceed the potential risks with the exception of a few selected species in sensitive populations.
