TLDR
The results indicate that consideration of the growth stage of organs and tissues is necessary for understanding the bioaccumulation processes and the toxicological criteria of the metals.Citations

Metal Concentrations in Pelagic Seabirds from the North Pacific Ocean
Katsuhisa Honda,Jorge Eduardo Marcovecchio,Jorge Eduardo Marcovecchio,Shinya Kan,Ryo Tatsukawa,Haruo Ogi,Haruo Ogi +6 more
TL;DR: The concentrations of Cd and Hg reported here, however, seem to be natural rather than due to environmental pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal changes in mercury accumulation in the black-eared kite, Milvus migrans lineatus
TL;DR: Seasonal changes of mercury accumulation in organs and tissues of the black-eared kite were investigated between the pre- and post-moult and this indicates that moulting is a major excretory pathway for mercury and the age-dependent accumulation of mercury is virtually absent in this species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal concentrations in seabirds of the New Zealand region
TL;DR: High levels of cadmium in some species seem likely to be due to diet, whereas high levels of mercury probably reflect more closely the moult intervals which constrain the ability of birds to eliminate methyl mercury.

Comparison of trace element accumulation in Baikal seals (Pusa sibirica), Caspian seals (Pusa caspica) and northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus).

TL;DR: In this paper, the concentrations of 18 trace elements (V, Cr, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, Se, Rb, Rc, Cd, Cs and Hg) were determined in liver, kidney, muscle and hair of Baikal seals, Caspian seals and northern fur seals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of chronic, low concentrations of dietary methylmercury on the behavior of juvenile great egrets
TL;DR: The results suggest that, at the 0.5 mg/kg concentration in food, there are significant effects of methylmercury on activity, tendency to seek shade, and motivation to hunt prey.

Heavy Metal Concentrations in Muscle, Liver and Kidney Tissue of Striped Dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba, and Their Variations with Body Length, Weight, Age and Sex
TL;DR: In this article, the concentrations of Fe, mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cd and Hg in the muscle, liver and kidney of fifty nine striped dolphins captured during 1977 ~ 1980 were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.

Metal contamination of feral pigeons Columba livia from the London area: Part 1—tissue accumulation of lead, cadmium and zinc
M. Hutton,G.T. Goodman +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the feral pigeon may be used both to monitor urban lead contamination and as a model for chronic lead toxicity, in relation to the possible antagonistic role of zinc.
