Warmer oceans could raise mercury levels in fish

Rising ocean surface temperatures caused by climate change could make fish accumulate more mercury, increasing the health risk to people who eat seafood, Dartmouth researchers and their colleagues report in a study in the journal PLOS ONE.

Until now, little has been known about how global warming may affect mercury bioaccumulation in marine life, and no previous study has demonstrated the effects using fish in both laboratory and field experiments. Mercury released into the air through industrial pollution can accumulate in streams and oceans and is turned into methylmercury in the water.

The researchers studied killifish under varying temperatures in the lab and in salt marsh pools in Maine. Fish in the marshes ate insects, worms and other natural food sources, while the lab fish were fed mercury-enriched food. Results showed the fish in warmer waters ate more but grew less and had higher methylmercury levels in their tissues, suggesting increases in their metabolic rate caused the increased uptake of the toxic metal.

    (1)The Venus or Tapu-ki-tea North-North permanent magnets PUSHING effect from its magnetic frequency orbit allows The Mercury to Rise in the Northern Oceans and Seas in Autumn-Winter on a suspended South Pole Magnetic field about October-March.

    (2) The Mars or Langi Ua South-South permanent magnets PULLING effect from its orbit magnetic frequency allow the The Mercury to Rise in the Southern Oceans and Seas in Autumn- Winter on a suspended North Pole Magnetic field about mid-March to mid October.

    (3) The increase of Humpback Whales to Tonga and Vava’u does require enough Mercury in the Water. The increase of Sail Fish or Bill fish game fishing in Vava’u where high levels of Mercury is said to be found during Tongan Winter.

    (4) The increase of Gout and Arthritis crystals are normal to Tongans in Autumn -Winter especially heavy consumption on Crustacean and other Mollusk seafoods. Seldom cases of Fatal Mercury Poison by eating ocean eels are often found when Mars or Langi Ua SS magnetic field has a stronger approx Bi-Annual effect of PULLING in the Southern Oceans depending on its 23 months orbital around earth unilike Venus of Tapu-ki-tea NN PUSHING every approx 7 months compared to its Mass Size and frequency.
