Cover Story: Contaminants of emerging concern, such as different substances of anti-seizure medication (ASM), are increasingly being detected in surface waters in Germany with unknown consequences on the health of non-target aquatic wildlife. Eurasian otters are top predators and thus susceptible to the bioaccumulation of pollutants. Potential contamination with ASM was investigated in otter brain samples by using HPLC and MS. Histologically, brain sections were analyzed for the presence of potential associated neuropathology. The studied groups consisted of 20 deceased wild otters and 5 individuals in human care. None of the targeted ASMs were detected and no obvious pathology was observed histologically, whereas their presence in the otter samples and related adverse effects could not be excluded. View this paper
