Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzed mercury and selenium levels in fish commonly eaten in Seychelles and compared them to fish in the US, finding similar concentrations of both elements.
  • - Measurements showed that average mercury levels varied across species, with a mean of 0.21 ppm, while selenium levels averaged 0.54 ppm, with all species showing favorable Se:Hg ratios.
  • - Results indicated that fish weight was a strong predictor of mercury levels and selenium ratios, suggesting that the Seychellois population, which consumes more fish, is a good group for future research on low dose mercury exposure effects.
