Uptake and elimination of inorganic mercury and selenium by minnows Phoxinus phoxinus
(Elsevier, 1988)
Minnows were kept in aquaria containing filtered water dosed with measured amounts of mercury as mercuric chloride and selenium as sodium selenate. Fishes exposed to selenium in combination with mercury showed significantly ...
Tissue distribution of mercury and selenium in minnows, Phoxinus phoxinus
(Springer Verlag, 1990)
The protective effect of selenium against mercury toxicity has been extensively demonstrated in a number of studies (Burke eta]. 1977; Kasuya 1976). Since mercury uptake is not always diminished by the presence of selenium ...
Survival and heavy metal accumulation of two Oreochromis niloticus (L.) strains exposed to mixtures of zinc, cadmium and mercury
(Elsevier, 1994)
Two Nile tilapia strains of Oreochromis niloticus (L.) (Cichlidae, Teleostei) fingerlings were exposed to mixtures of zinc, cadmium and mercury. The two strains used were Chitralada or NIFI (originally from the National ...
Mercury and selenium interaction: A review
(Elsevier, 1991)
This paper reviews studies on mercury and selenium interaction. It includes the effects of selenium on mercury toxicity on the organism, organ/tissue, and subcellular levels. The paper also touches on possible mechanisms ...
Resistance to a heavy metal mixture in Oreochromis niloticus progenies from parents chronically exposed to the same metals
(Elsevier, 1995)
Adult Oreochromis niloticus were mass spawned in concrete tanks. The one-month old progenies (F<sub>1</sub>) were exposed for two months to a mixture of 0.01 mg L<sup>−1</sup> Hg, 0.1 mg L<sup>−1</sup> Cd and 1.0 mg ...
Effects of long-term exposure to a mixture of cadmium, zinc, and inorganic mercury on two strains of tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (L.)
(Springer Verlag, 1993)
Tilapia are an economically important group of fish. They have a short generation period of 3-6 months, and exhibit successive breeding. In addition, their fast growth, herbivorous or omnivorous feeding habits, high food ...
