Carter and published by [Halifax, N.S.] : Parks Canada. This book was released on 2001 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of a wider study on the bioaccumulation & ecological effects of mercury in freshwater fish & wildlife in Canada, this study measured total mercury in yellow perch from 24 lakes in Nova Scotia. The objectives of the study were to assess mercury concentrations in prey of common loons, which themselves have high mercury levels, and to determine which environmental factors were associated with differences in fish mercury concentrations from lake to lake. Results presented include mean perch mercury concentration & concentration range, correlations of fish characteristics with whole-fish mercury concentrations, and correlations of water chemistry parameters with fish mercury concentrations.
