“…4, there are no differences in hair T-Hg concentrations between groups with different frequency of fish consumption. Keeping in mind that the most commonly used fish species for human consumption in the study area is Prochilodus magdalenae, a non-carnivorous species with low T-Hg concentrations [44], this species availability can also explain the relatively low T-Hg concentrations found in hair [69].…”
