Mercury in Danish otters ( [formula omitted][formula omitted])

Concentrations of Hg in livers of 69 Danish otters were determined. The mean concentration was 2.3 mg kg −1 Hg fresh weight (range 0.03-12.37). Males and females did not differ in Hg concentrations. Adults had higher concentrations than subadults and juveniles. Hg is unlikely to pose a threat to ott...

Zusammenfassung:Concentrations of Hg in livers of 69 Danish otters were determined. The mean concentration was 2.3 mg kg −1 Hg fresh weight (range 0.03-12.37). Males and females did not differ in Hg concentrations. Adults had higher concentrations than subadults and juveniles. Hg is unlikely to pose a threat to otters in their current range in Denmark.
