This review summarizes the significant amount of data which was published on mercury (Hg) in cetacean species all over the world, since the first manuscript was printed in 1971 regarding the Hg in a Pacific pilot whale stranded in San Clemente Island (California - USA) (Hall et al., 1971). The aim of this paper is to provide a snapshot on existing peer-reviewed papers and technical reports on levels and spatial and temporal trends of this contaminant in different species of cetaceans, and provide an initial evaluation on which species should be considered more at risk for mercury and in what water basins.

Abstract
This review summarizes the significant amount of data which was published on mercury (Hg) in cetacean species all over the world, since the first manuscript was printed in 1971 regarding the Hg in a Pacific pilot whale stranded in San Clemente Island (California - USA) (Hall et al., 1971). The aim of this paper is to provide a snapshot on existing peer-reviewed papers and technical reports on levels and spatial and temporal trends of this contaminant in different species of cetaceans, and provide an initial evaluation on which species should be considered more at risk for mercury and in what water basins.
