摘要
Twenty-three red foxes (Vulpes vulpes L.) were tested for the presence of mercury in their internal organs. These animals were captured in the Vologda region (Northwest Russia) within 2009 and 2018. The animal's liver, kidneys, muscles, brain, spleen, chyme and intestinal wall were tested. The concentrations level ranged between 0.001 mg/kg of wet mass in the chyme and the brain - up to 0.713 mg/kg of wet mass in kidneys. There is a strong correlation between the concentrations of mercury in separate pairs of tissues of a red fox. The ratio of concentrations of mercury between the tissues of the red fox was discovered: the concentration of mercury in the brain was 2 to 18 times lower than in other tissues.
