“…Previous studies developed along this area support the Hg assimilation related to predator–prey interactions (Carvalho et al ., 2008; Kehrig et al ., 2009; Di Beneditto et al ., 2012), suggesting that the past practices of gold-mining and the use of mercurial fungicides on sugarcane plantations in the PSR drainage basin are the main input sources of Hg in this fluvial ecosystem, which is largely exported to the adjacent marine areas, coupled with Hg atmospheric deposition (Lacerda et al ., 1993; Lacerda, 1996; Araujo et al ., 2017; Azevedo et al ., 2018). Reinfelder et al .…”

“…(2015), at times of higher PSR discharge, G. genidens and A. luniscutis were more abundant, thus contributing to higher mean THg values for both species compared with B. bagre . At times of lower PSR discharge, B. bagre is more abundant; thus as suggested by authors worldwide and for the PSR estuary, during low river discharge the main source of Hg is the direct deposition of the contaminant from the atmosphere to surface waters, resulting in higher concentrations of THg in fish due to the rapid methylation and absorption by biota, thus becoming more bioavailable (Harris et al ., 2007; Mason et al ., 2012; Araujo et al ., 2017; Azevedo et al ., 2018).…”

“…Nesse intervalo, vários trabalhos foram publicados utilizando diferentes eletrodos de trabalho, comerciais ou fabricados em laboratórios, e que foram acoplados ao sistema BIA, possibilitando a detecção de uma gama de analitos por técnicas como a amperometria e a voltametria. O protótipo da célula inicialmente proposto foi modificado ao longo dos anos pelos pesquisadores com o intuito de se adequarem a outros tipos de eletrodos que não apresentavam a forma convencional de bastão, como o de diamante dopado com boro (QUINTINO; ROCHA et al, 2018). Entretanto, a maioria dos eletrodos convencionais está sujeita a passivação ou envenenamento devido a adsorção de espécies na superfície dos materiais que o compõe.…”

“…Inter-eletrodos (n = 5) / % DPR 4,3 (AUGELLI et al, 2007;AZEVEDO et al, 2018;DA SILVA et al, 2018;SÁNCHEZ URÍA;SANZ-MEDEL, 1998). Sob condições anaeróbicas, a ação de microrganismos facilita a formação de metilmercúrio e esta espécie difunde-se mais facilmente do que o Hg inorgânico através da incorporação nos tecidos de peixes que estão em contato com rios contaminados (AUGELLI et al, 2007).…”
