Biomagnification of mercury and its antagonistic interaction with selenium in yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares in the trophic web of Baja California Sur, Mexico.
Ordiano-Flores A, Rosíles-Martínez R, Galván-Magaña F. Ordiano-Flores A, et al. Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2012 Dec;86:182-7. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2012.09.014. Epub 2012 Oct 8. Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2012. PMID: 23059106
Biomagnification factors (BMF) between predator-prey associations were calculated. The BMFs were >1, indicating that mercury biomagnifies along the food web of yellowfin tuna. In all species studied there was a molar excess of selenium over mercury. …
