The mechanisms to account for mercury accumulation in pinnipeds are similar to those reported for the striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba). Tissue concentrations of mercury in striped dolphins increased with increasing age of the animal, reaching a plateau in 20-25 years were highest in liver, although muscle accounted for about 90% of the total body mercury burden were present in the methylated form in fetal and suckling stages, but the proportion of methylmercury decreased...
