Evidence that Pacific tuna mercury levels are driven by marine methylmercury production and anthropogenic inputs

Anais Medieu et al.

Summary: A study finds that mercury levels in Pacific Ocean tuna vary spatially, with the highest concentrations near Asia and the lowest in the western and central Pacific. These differences are primarily attributed to the depth of the seawater methylmercury peak near low-oxygen zones. The mercury hotspot near Asia is likely influenced by elevated atmospheric mercury concentrations and/or mercury river inputs. The study suggests that recent anthropogenic mercury release in Asia contributes to current human mercury exposure.

Stable mercury concentrations of tropical tuna in the south western Pacific ocean: An 18-year monitoring study

Anais Medieu et al.

Summary: Through studying the mercury concentrations in three tropical tuna species in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, it was found that there were significant inter-annual variability in mercury concentrations in tuna, but no clear long-term trend was observed. The influence of amino acids and model-estimated phytoplankton δN-15 values on mercury concentrations in tuna was highlighted.
