Ртуть в рыбах: биохимическая индикация

The review addresses the results of original research and published data on mercury accumulation in fish inhabiting small lakes of NorthWestern Russia and on the effects of concomitant factors, mainly acidification and humification of water, on the bioavailability and biomagnification of various forms of mercury. Mercury effects on fish and the mechanisms of biochemical response reactions to mercury are discussed. Biochemical indication of mercury accumulation based on estimating markers that reflect fish condition and required to reveal possible risks to human health associated with fish consumption.
