Recent studies have emphasized the need for understanding the accumulation and fate of
metal contaminants at different trophic levels and across a broad spectrum of lake types. To …

This study provides strong evidence for biotic accumulation of two metals in a contaminated
watershed and diminution of both metals from lower trophic levels to fish. Bioaccumulation of …

Complex and ever changing in its forms and functions, the element mercury follows a
convoluted course through the environment and up the food chain. The process is …

The bioaccumulation of mercury in the food webs incorporating the major piscivorous fish
species of Lake Murray, Papua New Guinea, has been characterised. Methylmercury …

Lake Erie's food web has been dramatically modified by exotic species. Both exotic
dreissenid mussels and the round goby Neogobius melanastomus have shifted the food …

We investigated factors causing mercury (Hg) concentrations in northern pike to exceed the
consumption advisory level (> 500 ng/g) in some inland lakes of Isle Royale National Park …

There is a well documented accumulation of mercury in fish to concentrations of concern for
human consumption. Variation in fish Hg burden between lakes is often high and may result …

Fish from new reservoirs often have elevated concentrations of methylmercury (MeHg) that
they primarily accumulate from food such as zooplankton. The objectives of this research …
