Profile and consumption risk assessment of trace elements in megamouth sharks (Megachasma pelagios) captured from the Pacific Ocean to the east of Taiwan

Yun-Ru Ju et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the concentrations of 24 elements in the muscle of 27 rare filter-feeding megamouth sharks captured as by-catch in the Pacific Ocean east of Taiwan, finding that element accumulation in their muscles is primarily influenced by dissolved elements in seawater, with certain elements like mercury, arsenic, and copper being primarily affected by feeding behaviors. Long-term or high-frequency consumption of megamouth shark muscle may pose health risks due to the accumulation of trace elements, particularly arsenic, mercury, and copper.

Trace elements in muscle tissue of three commercial shark species: Prionace glauca, Carcharhinus falciformis, and Alopias pelagicus off the Manzanillo, Colima coast, Mexico

Sara Alvaro-Berlanga et al.

Summary: The study revealed significant differences in the accumulation of trace elements (TE) in the muscle tissue of different shark species, with higher concentrations generally found in females. The ability of sharks to bioaccumulate TE is influenced by factors such as metal elements, population segregation, and ontogeny. Additionally, the protective role of dietary selenium against mercury uptake and toxicity was observed in all specimens of the three shark species.
