摘要: Concentrations of mercury (Hg) have increased slowly in landlocked Arctic char over a 10- to 15-year period the Arctic. Fluxes Hg sediments also show increases most lakes. Correlation with trophic level (TL) was used investigate and compare biomagnification food webs from lakes Canadian sampled 2002 2007. (total methylmercury (MeHg)) were compared across longitudinal latitudinal gradients relation d 13 C 15 Ni n periphyton, zooplankton, benthic invertebrates, varying size-classes. Trophic magnification factors (TMFs) calculated for web each lake related available physical chemical characteristics The relative content MeHg 4.3 12.2% 41 79% 59 72% insects, 74 100% juvenile adult char. signatures indicated coupling invertebrates.
