Methylmercury bioaccumulation in lake food webs in Gatineau Park

Wildlife are exposed to mercury through their diet, and therefore it is important to understand the processes that control the trophic transfer of mercury. This study is a continuation of research on mercury cycling in Gatineau Park lakes, with a focus on seasonal processes that control the bioaccumulation of methylmercury in a key bioindicator organism, chironomid larvae.
