Percentage of methylmercury in the muscle tissue of freshwater fish varies with body size and age and among species
GL Lescord, TA Johnston… - Environmental …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
It is commonly assumed that most (> 95%) of the mercury (Hg) found in fish muscle is the
toxic form, methylmercury (MeHg), due to its efficient assimilation and retention in biotic …

[HTML][HTML] Arctic methylmercury cycling
Anthropogenic mercury (Hg) undergoes long-range transport to the Arctic where some of it is
transformed into methylmercury (MeHg), potentially leading to high exposure in some Arctic …

Nutritional quality of littoral macroinvertebrates and pelagic zooplankton in subarctic lakes
Littoral benthic primary production is considered the most important energy source of
consumers in subarctic lakes. We analyzed essential fatty acid (EFA) and amino acid (EAA) …

[HTML][HTML] Fish muscle mercury concentration and bioaccumulation fluctuate year-round-Insights from cyprinid and percid fishes in a humic boreal lake
Boreal lakes demonstrate pronounced seasonality, where the warm open-water season and
subsequent cold and ice-covered season dominate natural cycles. While fish muscle total …

Climate and productivity affect total mercury concentration and bioaccumulation rate of fish along a spatial gradient of subarctic lakes
Climate change is resulting in increased temperatures and precipitation in subarctic regions
of Europe. These changes are extending tree lines to higher altitudes and latitudes, and …

[HTML][HTML] Investigating effects of climate-induced changes in water temperature and diet on mercury concentrations in an Arctic freshwater forage fish
The amount of mercury (Hg) in Arctic lake food webs is, and will continue to be, affected by
rapid, ongoing climate change. At warmer temperatures, fish require more energy to sustain …
