Mercury and stable isotopes (δ15N and δ13C) as tracers during the ontogeny of Trichiurus lepturus

Mercury and stable isotopes (δ15N and δ13C) as tracers during the ontogeny of Trichiurus lepturus

This study applies total mercury (THg) concentration and stable isotope signature (δ15N and δ13C) to evaluate the trophic status and feeding ground of Trichiurus lepturus during its ontogeny in northern Rio de Janeiro, south-eastern Brazil. The trophic position of T. lepturus is detected well by THg...
