High concentrations of methyknercury in subthermocline low-oxygen seawater were significantly and positively correlated with median daytime depth (<200 m to >300 m) of eight species of pelagic fishes mean total mercury concentrations in whole fishes ranged between 57 and 377 jjg/kg DW. The enhanced mercury accumulations in the marine mesopelagic compartment is attributable to diet and ultimately to water chemistry that controls mercury speciation and uptake at the base of the food chain (Monteiro et al. 1996). 

And finally, additional research is needed on mercury accumulation and detoxification in comparatively pristine ecosystems. Key uncertainties in understanding the process of mercury uptake in aquatic ecosystems, for example, include relations between water chemistry and respiratory uptake, quantitative estimates of intestinal tract methylation and depuration, and degree of seasonal variability in mercury speciation and methylation-demethylation processes (Post et al. 1996).

In mercury speciation studies, pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and supercritical fluid extraction (SEE) are employed [33]. In particular, methyl-mercury is extracted by the Westoo method [33,34], which consists in a leaching process with hydrochloric acid, the extraction of the metal chloride into benzene or toluene, the addition of ammonium hydroxide that converts the metal species to hydroxide and the saturation with sodium sulfate. Most of the HPLC methods reported in literature for the determination of organomercury compounds (mainly monomethyhnercury, monoethyhnercury, and monophenylmercury) are based on reversed...
