The Effects of Mercury Emissions in the Ocean Dayana Smoot – Muna Sultan – Mariana Juarez – Anson North Nearby anthropogenic sources, such as coal burning and mining of iron, can contaminate water sources with methylmercury, which is efficiently absorbed in the bodies of fish. Through the process of biomagnification, mercury levels in each successive predatory stage increase. edia/File:MercuryFoodChain.svg

The Effects of Mercury Emissions in the Ocean Dayana Smoot – Muna Sultan – Mariana Juarez – Anson North Methylmercury concentrations were about 1 million times higher in predator fish than in stream water. [Note logarithmic scale of y-axis. The top and bottom of each circle represent the range of measured methylmercury concentrations. Data are for streams in Oregon, Wisconsin, and Florida sampled during 2002–2006
