Abstract
Mercury concentration in different tissues of two dolphin species (Stenella coreuleoalba and Tursiops truncatus), stranded along the Italian coasts during the period 2000– 2009, were reported in order to assess Hg distribution patterns in different tissues. The highest concentrations of Hg were found in liver samples of both species (8.4-1752 mg/kg dw for Stenella coeruleoalba and 9.6-1404 mg/kg dw for Tursiops truncatus). Relative high mercury concentrations were reported also in kidney and lung tissues. The existence of Hg bioaccumulation process over time was also reported. The dataset documents the existence of different mechanisms of mercury bioaccumulation in the different tissues analyzed.
