Resource Abstract:
- description: Methylmercury, a neurotoxin, is found in the game fish of south Florida. Samples of periphyton, the assemblage
of microalgae that live in shallow submerged substrates which is home to, and food for, creatures that are the foundation
of the food chain, have concentrations of methylmercury that range from non-detectable to tenths of a part per million on
a dry weight basis. The report produced from this project presents data for samples of periphyton and water collected in 1995
and 1996 from Water Conservation Areas, the Big Cypress National Preserve, and the Everglades National Park in south Florida.
Periphyton samples were analyzed for concentrations of total mercury, methylmercury, nitrogen, phosphorus, organic carbon,
and inorganic carbon. Water-column samples collected on the same dates as the periphyton samples were analyzed for concentrations
of major ions.; abstract: Methylmercury, a neurotoxin, is found in the game fish of south Florida. Samples of periphyton,
