Characterization of Mercury Transport and Fate in the Truckee River, NV, USA
… sources of methylmercury (MeHg) in fish for the Truckee River, CA-NV, USA. Mercury concentrations in biotic (fish and macroinvertebrates) and abiotic (water and sediments) components of the Truckee River were quantified along with a variety of other parameters to understand fish Hg concentrations …
