Article Synopsis
- Understanding variations in total mercury (T-Hg) levels in fish is essential for both environmental and human health, particularly in the Atrato River basin, Colombia, where a study analyzed these influences using a dataset of 842 fish samples from 16 species.
- The research highlighted key factors affecting T-Hg accumulation, ranking them as follows: feeding habits, total length, estimated total weight, trophic level, water temperature, and pH, with temperature negatively impacting accumulation levels.
- The study revealed distinct T-Hg patterns based on fish habitat types and emphasized the need for comprehensive insights into biological and environmental factors to enhance biodiversity management strategies, while also noting potential biases in the modeling process.
