Experimental evidence for recovery of mercury-contaminated fish populations

P. J. Blanchfield, J. W. M. Rudd, et al.

Discover how a 15-year whole-ecosystem experiment revealed the impact of reduced mercury loading on fish populations! This groundbreaking research by Paul J. Blanchfield and colleagues demonstrates that lowering mercury in lakes can significantly benefit fish consumers by decreasing toxic methylmercury levels in the food web.
