摘要：
Methylmercury (MeHg), inorganic mercury (Hg-inorg) and their biomagnification factors (BMF) were evaluated along a non-degraded Brazilian bay food web. Highly significant differences (p < 0.0001) were found between MeHg and Hg-inorg concentrations among all organisms (microplankton, shrimp, fish and dolphin). MeHg increased with increasing trophic position while Hg-inorg did not present the same pattern. BMF values for MeHg were higher than 1 for all trophic interactions from source to consumer, indicating that MeHg was transferred more efficiently and biomagnified over the entire web. Only one BMF exceeding one was observed for Hg-inorg (27) between microplankton and their consumer, planktivorous fish. BMF values for Hg-inorg were significantly different than those found for MeHg (20) at the base of the food web.
