The fish or the egg : maternal transfer and subcellular partitioning of mercury and selenium in Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens)

Mercury and selenium distribution in key tissues and early life stages of Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens)
(Elsevier, 2019-07-26)Whereas early life stages are usually considered as particularly sensitive to both organic and inorganic contaminants, field studies assessing contaminant bioaccumulation in these stages are scarce. Selenium (Se) is thought to counteract Hg toxic effects ...
