BIOACCUMULATION AND BIOMAGNIFICATION OF MERCURY AND SELENIUM IN THE SARASOTA BAY ECOSYSTEM

The bioaccumulation and biomagnification of Hg and Se were investigated in Sarasota Bay, Florida, USA, to characterize the Hg exposure risks to wild bottlenose dolphins in the bay. Concentrations of total mercury (THg), monomethylmercury (MMHg), and total selenium (TSe) were monitored in the bay, th...
