High-precision isotopic analysis sheds new light on mercury metabolism in long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas)
Whales accumulate mercury (Hg), but do not seem to show immediate evidence of toxic effects. Analysis of different tissues (liver, kidney, muscle) and biofluids (blood, milk) from a pod of stranded long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas) showed accumulation of Hg as a function of age, with a s...
