Methylmercury bioaccumulation in benthic invertebrate assemblages in the Beaufort Sea

Methylmercury bioaccumulation in benthic invertebrate assemblages in the Beaufort Sea This study investigated methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in Arctic benthic invertebrates from two shelf sites in the Canadian Beaufort Sea. A combination of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur stable isotopes and fatty acids were used to examine the influence of diet on MeHg concentrations in 476 individuals from 51 taxa of benthic invertebrates representing three different feeding guilds. 2023-11-30 Environment and Climate Change Canada enviroinfo@ec.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentMercuryMarine biologyAquatic ecosystems CanadianBeaufortSea_Invert_MeHg&SI_EN_FRCSV https://data-donnees.az.ec.gc.ca/api/file?path=/substances%2Fmonitor%2Fmethylmercury-bioaccumulation-in-benthic-invertebrate-assemblages-in-the-beaufort-sea%2FCanadianBeaufortSea_Invert_MeHg%26SI_EN_FR.csv CanadianBeaufortSea_Invert_FA_EN_FRCSV https://data-donnees.az.ec.gc.ca/api/file?path=/substances/monitor/methylmercury-bioaccumulation-in-benthic-invertebrate-assemblages-in-the-beaufort-sea/CanadianBeaufortSea_Invert_FA_EN_FR.csv
