Apple's new iPhone XS and XS Max go on sale on Friday - and the biggest handset Apple has ever made is also its best (and possibly unsurprisingly, its most expensive). Changes in the diet of species including cod and spiny dogfish as a result of overfishing of their food sources such as herring can also affect how much methylmercury they are consuming and storing in their bodies. The boat caught record was set in 1986 with a bull huss of 22lb 4oz caught by M. Hall off the coast of Somerset.
Concentrations of the toxin in cod increased by up to 23 per cent between the 1970s and 2000s as a result of dietary shifts initiated by overfishing and then a recovery of herring populations, they suggested.

The researchers sampled more than 150 different shark products from fishmongers and chip shops in the south of England between February 2016 and November 2017, including London, Hampshire, Devon and Somerset. In total they extracted DNA from 10 dried shark fins that were for sale and 30 seized by the UK Border Force on the way to Asia, and used this to identify their origins.
The Origin of the Chippie . Now it is allowed, but only if the fish was caught accidentally as bycatch. It could cause an increase in toxic mercury in seafood, including cod, as warmer waters force them to eat more to keep going, scientists have warned.

The team also found that when they examined produce at an Asian food wholesaler, 40 per cent of shark fins being distributed to restaurants and supermarkets came from the endangered scalloped hammerhead shark. Hammerhead sharks and dogfish were among the vulnerable varieties on offer in British outlets.
The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline. Around four-fifths of the mercury put into the atmosphere from natural and human causes, such as burning coal, ends up in the ocean where some is converted by tiny organisms to a particularly dangerous form known as methylmercury. This means that while regulation to curb emissions of mercury are leading to decreases in the concentrations of the toxin in fish, rising ocean temperatures due to climate change are predicted to push it up again, the researchers from Harvard warn.
There is evidence that bull huss are much less abundant than they once were and they are classified as Near Threatended by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). Another vulnerable species found in the dried shark fins tested in the British Asian wholefood retailer was the shortfin mako shark. Like the lesser-spotted dogfish they also reproduce by giving birth to young in protective egg cases known as mermaid’s purses. Every year, 300 to 400 million tons of heavy metals, solvents and toxic sludge are dumped into the world's waters. Scalloped hammerhead shark fins were among those found being sold by an Asian food retailer in the UK. It could cause an increase in toxic mercury in seafood such as cod and tuna. They are also found along the Atlantic coast of Europe and throughout the Mediterranean Sea, although their range does not extend into the Black Sea. Even with a 20 per cent decrease in methylmercury in sea water as a consequence of reductions in emissions, a 1C temperature rise would lead to increases of 10% in cod and 20 per cent in spiny dogfish, the researchers said.
