Spleen gene expression is associated with mercury content in three-spined stickleback populations
2024-05-02
Abstract excerpt
Mercury can be very toxic at low environmental concentrations by impairing immunological, neurological, and other vital pathways in humans and animals. Aquatic ecosystems are heavily impacted by mercury pollution, with evidence of biomagnification through the food web. We examined the effect of mercury toxicity on the spleen, one of the primary immune organs in fish, in natural populations of the three-spined stic...
