AB  - This is the first research that extensively compiles all the available scientific 
      literature on the presence of trace metals (TMs), persistent organic pollutants 
      (POPs), and plastic debris in Chondrichthyan species inhabiting South America 
      (including the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans), providing an insight into 
      Chondrichthyans as bioindicators of pollutants as well as the impacts of 
      pollutant exposure on the organisms. Seventy-three studies were published in 
      South America between 1986 and 2022. While 68.5% focused on TMs, 17.8% on POPs, 
      and 9.6% on plastic debris. Brazil and Argentina were at the top in terms of the 
      number of publications; however, there is an absence of information regarding 
      pollutants for Chondrichthyans in Venezuela, Guyana, and French Guiana. Of the 65 
      Chondrichthyan species reported, 98.5% belong to the Elasmobranch group, and 1.5% 
      from the Holocephalans. Most studies focused on Chondrichthyans of economic 
      importance, and the most analyzed organs were the muscle and liver. There is a 
      lack of studies on Chondrichthyan species with low economic value and critical 
      conservation status. Due to their ecological relevance, distribution, 
      accessibility, high trophic position, capacity to accumulate high levels of 
      pollutants, and the number of studies published, Prionace glauca and Mustelus 
      schmitii seem to be adequate to serve as bioindicators. For TMs, POPs, and 
      plastic debris there is a lack of studies focusing on the pollutant levels as 
      well as their effect on Chondrichthyans. Future research reporting TMs, POPs, and 
      plastic debris occurrences in Chondrichthyan species are required in order to 
      increase the scarce databases about pollutants in this group, with a clear need 
      for further research on the responses of chondrichthyans to pollutants, as well 
      as making inferences about the potential risks to the ecosystems and human 
      health.
