TL;DR: In this article, the authors used 50 nm polystyrene nanoparticles with distinct surface functionalization (pristine, PS-Plain, carboxylic and amino PS-NH2) alone or combined with the metals arsenic (As) and methylmercury (MeHg), which possess an environmental risk to marine life.

Neurobehavioral and immune-toxic impairments induced by organic methyl mercury dietary exposure in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus.
TL;DR: The results showed that dietary MeHg induced significant alterations in O. niloticus behavior, the swimming behavior was significantly decreased, while scratching, biting, and fin tugging behaviors were significantly augmented; chasing, mouth pushing, and butting behaviors were significant increased in all the exposed groups.

Neurotoxicity and molecular effects of methylmercury.
TL;DR: A strategy which aims at identifying sensitive molecular targets of MeHg at environmentally relevant levels at low doses/concentrations may prove particularly useful to risk assessment.
Seasonal variation of methylmercury in sediment cores from the Tagus Estuary (Portugal).

TL;DR: In physically dominated estuaries this enhances seasonal MeHg production in deeper sediments that can have serious ecological impacts due to resuspension or advection processes under extreme events by the increase of MeHG transported to the water column.
Inorganic mercury accumulation in brain following waterborne exposure elicits a deficit on the number of brain cells and impairs swimming behavior in fish (white seabream-Diplodus sargus).

TL;DR: Overall, current data pointed out the iHg potential to induce brain morphometric alterations, emphasizing a long-lasting neurobehavioral hazard.
The Gustatory System in Fish
TL;DR: This chapter describes the gustatory system in fish and the component of the communis system that serves the sense of taste, in contrast to those communis neurons that serve less specialized visceral sensations.
