Quantifying mercury isotope dynamics in captive Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis)

Abstract Analyses of mercury (Hg) isotope ratios in fish tissues are used increasingly to infer sources and biogeochemical processes of Hg in natural aquatic ecosystems. Controlled experiments that can couple internal Hg isotope behavior with traditional isotope tracers (δ13C, δ15N) can improve the...
