Species-specific mercury speciation in billfishes and its implications for food safety monitoring and dietary advice by Anaïs Médieu, David Point, Valérie Allain, Nathalie Bodin, Mélanie Lemire, Pierre Ayotte, Zahirah Dhurmeea, Matthieu Waeles, Laure Laffont, Antoine Le Gohalen, François Roupsard, Anne Lorrain

“…We found low percentages of methylmercury in blue and black marlins (15 ± 7 %) compared to swordfish and striped marlin (89 ± 13 %), with no significant differences among ocean regions. This illustrates that billfishes exhibit species-specific methylmercury bioaccumulation patterns, likely related to unique selenium-dependent in vivo methylmercury demethylation capacities in muscle. …”
