Mercury stable isotopes reveal sources of methylmercury and prey in giant Pacific bluefin tuna from the western North Pacific Ocean
Abstract Sources of methylmercury (MeHg) in adult Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis, PBT) from the western North Pacific Ocean (WPO) were examined using mercury stable isotopes. Significant increases in δ202Hg and Δ199Hg values with PBT size and age, along with those of potential prey, indica...
