Slide presentation reporting a study of mercury (Hg) accumulation and speciation in four turtle species from the South River. Methods included baited hoop traps, blood sampling, and analyses of total Hg, methyl-Hg, selenium and stable isotopes. Results show species-dependent elevated blood Hg versus reference sites, predominantly methylmercury, maternal egg transfer, and recommendations for reproductive-effect studies.

Review Notes :
The PDF is a slide deck with no explicit publication or presentation date visible. The existing WordPress filename suggests October 2006, but that date is not present on the slides so document_date is left null. Authors shown on slides include Jerry Husak, Christine Bergeron, Chris Romanek, and Jason Unrine.
