Study links warmer water temperatures to greater levels of mercury in fish

Washington Post: Under the watchful eyes of scientists, a little forage fish that lives off the southern coast of Maine developed a strangely large appetite. Killifish are not usually big eaters. But in warmer waters, at temperatures projected for the future by climate scientists, their metabolism and their appetites go up, which is not a good thing if there are toxins in their food. In a lab experiment, researchers adjusted temperatures in tanks, tainted the killifishs food with traces of methylmercury and...

Fukushima Radiation: Is it Safe to Eat the Fish?

EcoWatch: Following Japans devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami, fear spread about risks of leaked radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant--for the health of those living in or near Fukushima or involved in cleanup efforts, and for the planet and the potential impacts on our complex marine food web. Shunichi Tanaka, head of Japans Nuclear Regulation Authority, told reporters radioactive water has likely been leaking into the Pacific Ocean since the disaster hit. Its the largest single...
Warmer seas may raise mercury in fish
2013-10-06 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Scientists in the US say they have found evidence suggesting that warmer sea surface temperatures may increase the ability of fish to accumulate mercury. This could present a risk to the health of some consumers of seafood as the mercury rises up the marine food chain. The scientists, based at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, report their research in the journal PLOS ONE (Public Library of Science ONE). Until now science has known little about how global warming may affect mercury accumulation...
Climate Change May Trigger Higher Mercury Levels in Fish, Study Suggests

Nature World: Adding to the extensive list of climate change's effects, researchers from Dartmouth College have uncovered a link between rising ocean surface temperatures -- a result, they say, of a changing climate -- and the amount of mercury in fish. High in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, fish can play an important role in promoting proper growth and development as well as heart health. However, tucked away in the fatty tissue of many kinds of fish are high levels of methylmercury, an even more toxic form...
