The present study aimed to document the interaction between mercury (Hg), as a model chemical stressor to an aquatic organism, and Fatty acid (FA) profile in the longitudinal muscle of the sea cucumberHolothuria forskali. To assess the sensitivity of this species to the toxic effects of Hg, youngH....
