• W3046849276 abstract "Odontocetes are apex predators that, despite accumulating mercury (Hg) to high concentrations in their tissues, show few signs of Hg toxicity. One method of Hg detoxification in odontocetes includes the sequestering of Hg in toxicologically inert mercury selenide (HgSe) compounds. To explore the tissue-specific accumulation of Hg and Se and the potential protective role of Se against Hg toxicity, we measured the concentrations of total mercury (THg) and selenium (Se) in multiple tissues from 11 species of odontocetes that stranded along the northern Gulf of Mexico coast [Florida (FL) and Louisiana (LA)]. Tissues were collected primarily from bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ; n = 93); however, individuals from species in the following 8 genera were also sampled: Feresa ( n = 1), Globicephala (n = 1), Grampus ( n = 2), Kogia ( n = 5), Mesoplodon (n = 1), Peponocephala ( n = 4), Stenella (n = 9), and Steno (n = 1). In all species, mean THg concentrations were greatest in the liver and lowest in the blubber, lung, or skin. In contrast, in most species, mean Se concentrations were greatest in the liver, lung, or skin, and lowest in the blubber. For all species combined, Se:Hg molar ratios decreased with increasing THg concentration in the blubber, kidney, liver, lung, and skin following an exponential decay relationship. In bottlenose dolphins, THg concentrations in the kidney, liver, and lung were significantly greater in FL dolphins compared to LA dolphins. On average, in bottlenose dolphins, Se:Hg molar ratios were approximately 1:1 in the liver and >1:1 in blubber, kidney, lung, and skin, suggesting that Se likely protects against Hg toxicity. However, more research is necessary to understand the variation in Hg accumulation within and among species and to assess how Hg, in combination with other environmental stressors, influences odontocete population health. • THg and Se concentrations were measured in tissues from 11 odontocete species. • Se and THg concentrations were positively correlated in all tissues. • Se:Hg molar ratios were ~1:1 in the liver and ≥1:1 in other tissues. • Se:Hg molar ratios were negatively correlated with tissue THg concentrations. • Se is likely to have a protective effect against Hg toxicity in odontocetes." @default.
