Ingested shotgun pellets were found in 13 of 56 hunter-killed wild waterfowl between October and December 1991 from two hunting grounds in Japan. Four of 33 other waterfowl found dead in lightly hunted areas between January 1991 and March 1992 were diagnosed as having lead poisoning. We propose that lead poisoning maybe a threat to waterfowl in Japan.
1991年10月至12月期间,在日本两个狩猎场被猎人捕杀的56只野生水禽中,有13只体内发现了摄入的猎枪子弹。在1991年1月至1992年3月期间,在轻度狩猎地区发现死亡的33只其他水禽中,有4只被诊断为铅中毒。我们认为铅中毒可能对日本的水禽构成威胁。
