Mercury is responsible for serious episodes
of environmental pollution throughout the world, especially in the
Amazon. This toxicity has led regulatory agencies to focus on fish as
the target organism for protecting the health of humans and other
sensitive organisms. Unfortunately, in the Amazon area, different
sampling strategies and the wide variety of sampling areas and fish
species make it extremely difficult to determine relationships across
geographic regions or over time to ascertain historical trends.
