Abstract

During three cruises in the Mid Atlantic Ridge area in 2016 and 2017, we collected samples of mesopelagic species down to a depth of 600 m and evaluated the presence of unwanted substances. Except for Cd and As, toxic compounds were present at levels far lower than the limits set by European Union regulations.
