Baseline toxicological assessment of biliary PAHs and heavy metals contamination in a commercially consumed native fish (Mugil cephalus) within Fiji coastal waters
Abstract:The indirect exposure and effects of marine pollutants such as heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, present significant health concerns for human coastal communities that rely on fish consumption as a regular nutritional source. This study confirms a sentinel marine fish species, Mugil cephalus (“mullet”), for biomonitoring environmental health and conducting risk assessments using biomarkers in Fiji. Sampling was performed at two Fijian study areas, i.e., Laucala Bay and the Ba River Delta. Find… Show more
