Journal Article · · Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 64(3):458-469
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1139/F07-017· OSTI ID:1004837

Total mercury (Hg) concentration was determined in the tissues of 10 pelagic fishes in the northern Golf of Mexico, and dietary tracers (stable isotopes and fatty acids) were used to evaluate the relationship between Hg and feeding history.
