A study of the bioavailability of mercury and the potential for biomagnification from sediment in Jellicoe Cove, Peninsula Harbour / by Lee Grapentine, Danielle Milani and Scott Mackay. : En13-5/05-321E-PDF

"There are elevated concentrations of mercury in sediments of Jellicoe Cove, a section of the Peninsula Harbour Area of Concern in Lake Superior that was exposed in the past to mercury-contaminated industrial effluents. To assess the bioavailability of this mercury and its potential for effects on fish, wildlife and humans through biomagnification, a study was conducted involving (a) comparisons of total and methyl mercury concentration in sediment and benthic invertebrates from Jellicoe Cove to those from reference locations, (b) analyses of the relationships of total and methyl mercury concentrations in invertebrates to those in sediment, and (c) predictions of concentrations of total and methyl mercury in representative consumers of benthic invertebrates and their predators using screening-level trophic transfer models"--Abstract, page ii.
