Metallothioneins failed to reflect mercury external levels of exposure and bioaccumulation in marine fish - Considerations on tissue and species specific responses
The suitability of metallothioneins (MT) in fish as biomarker of exposure to mercury has been questioned. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the relationship between external levels of exposure, mercury accumulation and MT content, assessing species and tissue specificities. Two ecological...
