Ruelas Inzunza Milena Horvat Héctor Pérez Cortés Federico Páez Osuna Ciencias de la Tierra mercury methylmercury Stenella longirostris Eschrichtius robustus Gulf of California (Mexico) Four gray whales Eschrichtius robustus and eleven spinner dolphins Stenella longirostris were found stranded along thecoasts of the lower Gulf of California, Mexico. Muscle, kidney and liver samples from all the specimens were used for mercury(Hg) analysis. Mean concentrations of total Hg (THg) were significantly different (P < 0.05) in all the tissues of spinner dolphins,resulting in a decreasing order liver>kidney>muscle. Mean values of THg in the three tissues of gray whales were notstatistically different. Similarly, methylmercury (MeHg) levels in the analyzed tissues of dolphins and whales were notstatistically different. Considering species-related differences, it seems that THg and MeHg levels in the studied marine mammalsdid not play a key role in the stranding of the specimens, though more studies about the implications of Hg compounds instranding events are necessary. 2003 artículo científico 0185-3880 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=48029102 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=480 Ciencias Marinas application/pdf Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Ciencias Marinas (México) Num.1 Vol.29 |
