Within the framework of the ecotoxicological study of mercury in Arctic European seas, demersal fish samples were collected in the Greenland and Barents seas, far from direct human activities, and, thus, close to pristine areas which allowed for the evaluation of background (natural) concentrations of Hg in biological material. Pelagic fish from this region show indeed low Hg concentrations (0.04 - 0.08 {mu}g/g dw). Another aim is to describe and better understand transfer, accumulation and detoxification mechanisms of Hg in areas with low levels of pollution. 17 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.
