Environmental factors affecting methyl mercury accumulation in zooplanktonWestcott, Kim January 1995 (has links)
Filter-feeding macrozooplankton were collected from 24 lakes in south-central Ontario to examine relationships between environmental factors and methyl mercury accumulation. Zooplankton methyl mercury levels ranged from 19 to 448 ng$ rm cdot g sp{-1}$ dry weight in the study lakes and were highest in zooplankton from acidic brownwater lakes. Water color and lake water pH were the best predictors of methyl mercury levels in zooplankton explaining 73% of the variation. Methyl mercury concentrations were positively correlated with water color and inversely correlated with lake water pH. Water color explained a greater portion of the overall variance in methyl mercury levels, indicating that the supply of mercury from the drainage basin plays a key role in determining methyl mercury concentrations in the lacustrine biota. Zooplankton methyl mercury levels were well correlated with mercury concentrations in smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieui) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) from 11 of the study lakes showing zooplankton to be good indicators of the relative bioavailability of mercury at the base of the food chain.
