“…A comparison between the data of the present study and those of previous studies conducted in Hong Kong (Tam and Mok, 1991) and China (Wei et al, 2002) is presented in Table 3, together with the guidelines for assessing the aquatic organisms in China and the baseline reference values in Norway (Green and Knutzen, 2003). The mean and median concentrations of Cd and Cu in crab, shrimp, and shellfish; and Cr in shellfish exceeded the threshold values recommended by China's assessment guidelines, suggesting that the concentrations of these trace metals in these species from the PRE were elevated.…”

“…(Wang and Wong, 2003 Several studies have demonstrated that Hg concentrations in the muscles of marine organisms proportionally increase with size and age (Lange et al, 1994;Burger et al, 2001;Green and Knutzen, 2003;Simonin et al, 2008). Moreover, Hg de-toxification rates appear negatively correlated with the fish size (Trudel and Rasmussen, 1997), supporting a potential correlation between Hg levels and size/age in the organisms.…”

a b s t r a c tOur study reports on the total mercury (HgT) concentrations measured in the muscles and livers of several benthic, demersal and pelagic fish species caught inside and outside of Augusta Bay (southern Italy), a semi-enclosed marine area, highly contaminated by the uncontrolled (since the 1950s to 1978s) discharge of the largest European petrochemical plant. Mercury levels in fish tissues are discussed with regard to specific habitat, size and/or age of the specimens and HgT distribution in the bottom sediments. Results suggest a still active Hg release mechanism from the polluted sediments to the marine environment. Also, the high HgT concentrations measured in fishes caught in the external area of the bay imply a potential role of Augusta Bay as a pollutant source for the Mediterranean ecosystem. Finally, values of hazard target quotient (THQ) and estimated weekly intake (EWI) demonstrate that consumption of fishes caught inside the bay represents a serious risk for human health. Also, data indicate that intake of fishes caught from the external area of the bay, especially for that concern demersal and benthic species, could be represent a significant component of risk for the local population.
