The use of stable carbon isotopes to evaluate the importance of fine suspended particulate matter in the transfer of methylmercury to biota in boreal flooded environments

Applying the classic geochemical technique of stable carbon isotope ratios (δ 13C), we confirmed the existence of a trophic link between fine particulate matter (FPM) and zooplankton in freshwater ecosystems, and examined possible reasons for the elevated MeHg concentrations ([MeHg]) in hydroelectri...
