Mercury bioaccumulation in southeastern Bering Sea Zofia Baumann | University of Connecticut | $205,746 This project addresses the critical need to evaluate current levels of methylmercury (MeHg) and total mercury (Hg) in seawater, zooplankton, and commercially significant fish. Zooplankton and ichtyoplankton collection over three Southeastern Bering Sea (SEBS) domains will enable deter- mination of the influences of trophic level, diet, species, size, and location of bioaccumulation throughout the food web. *The funding success rate for interdisciplinary studies reflects the fact that it is a new category and should not be read as indicating relative interest in the topic.
