Assessing the utility of sulfur isotope values for understanding mercury concentrations in water and biota from high Arctic lakes
Methylmercury (MeHg) biomagnifies through aquatic food webs resulting in elevated concentrations in fish globally. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes are frequently used to determine dietary sources of MeHg and to model its biomagnification. However, given the strong links between MeHg and sulfur c...
