## Abstract Concentrations of mercury (Hg) have increased slowly in landlocked Arctic char over a 10β to 15βyear period in the Arctic. Fluxes of Hg to sediments also show increases in most Arctic lakes. Correlation of Hg with trophic level (TL) was used to investigate and compare biomagnification o

## Abstract Amongβlake variation in mercury (Hg) concentrations in landlocked Arctic char was examined in 27 char populations from remote lakes across the Canadian Arctic. A total of 520 landlocked Arctic char were collected from 27 lakes, as well as sediments and surface water from a subset of lak
The concentration of mercury was measured in a variety of fish and sediment cores taken from Lake Boeuf located in southeastern Louisiana. Lake Boeuf is an important recreational and game fishing lake from which the following sunfish are caught and consumed: bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus), r
