Predictors of mercury spatial patterns in San Francisco Bay forage fish
Pollution reduction efforts should be targeted towards those sources that result in the highest bioaccumulation. For mercury (Hg) in estuaries and other complex water bodies, carefully designed biosentinel monitoring programs can help identify predictors of bioaccumulation and inform management priorities for source reduction. We employed a probabilistic forage fish Hg survey with hypothesis ...
