| Abstract |
Analyses of samples for mercury from Elephant Butte Lake collections were made by a flameless atomic absorption procedure. Arguments are given which attempt to account for concentration in some higher trophic level species. Evidence suggests that mercury levels are related to seasonal conditions. A bioamplification scheme and concentration factors are presented which describe the status of mercury concentrations in existing trophic levels. The potential hazards of Elephant Butte fish to human health are discussed. |
