Mercury Accumulation and Elimination in Different Tissues of Zebrafish <i>(Danio rerio)</i> Exposed to a Mercury-Supplemented Diet

Mercury Accumulation and Elimination in Different Tissues of Zebrafish <i>(Danio rerio)</i> Exposed to a Mercury-Supplemented Diet

In this study, we evaluated the bioaccumulation of mercury in zebrafish (<i>Danio rerio</i>) exposed to mercury-contaminated food for 21 days and the depuration of mercury for a subsequent post-exposure period of 28 days. Four tissues (muscle, liver, gills, and skin) were analyzed for me...
