In 2002, muskellunge exhibiting external lesions were collected by the Michigan Department of Natural Res...
متن کاملAssessment of Mercury Contamination in Surficial Sediments of Newark Bay
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study of mercury contamination in Newark Bay sediments was initiated from a broader study of mercury sources and material balance in the New York-New Jersey Harbor, conducted for the New York Academy of Sciences' Harbor Consortium by Themelis and Gregory (2001). The author of this report concluded that a more in-depth study should be conducted on a smaller area within the...
متن کاملDistribution, Abundance, and Biomass of Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) in Lake St. Clair
A mussel population survey was conducted in Lake St. Clair with divers using SCUBA to sample at 29 stations throughout the lake. Mean abundance was 2 m~2 and mean biomass was 4.4 g dry wt m~2. Of the 18 species collected, Lampsilis radiata siliquoidea was by far the most abundant, accounting for 45% of all individuals. The age-frequency distribution ofL. r. siliquoidea was dominated by individu...
متن کاملRecent paleorecords document rising mercury contamination in Lake Tanganyika
Recent Lake Tanganyika Hg deposition records were derived using C and excess Pb geochronometers in sediment cores collected from two contrasting depositional environments: the Kalya Platform, located mid-lake and more removed from watershed impacts, and the Nyasanga/Kahama River delta region, located close to the lake’s shoreline north of Kigoma. At the Kalya Platform area, pre-industrial Hg co...
