Distribution and accumulation of mercury in tissues of captive-reared common loon (Gavia immer) chicks Distribution and accumulation of mercury in tissues of captive-reared common loon (Gavia immer) chicks
We determined the distribution and accumulation of Hg in tissues of common loon (Gavia immer) chicks maintained for up to 15 weeks on either a control diet with no added methylmercury chloride (MeHgCl) or one containing either 0.4 or 1.2 ??g Hg (as MeHgCl)/g wet-weight food. Total Hg and MeHg tissue concentrations were strongly positively correlated (r2 > 0.95) with the amount of Hg...

Effects of methylmercury exposure on the immune function of juvenile common loons (Gavia immer) Effects of methylmercury exposure on the immune function of juvenile common loons (Gavia immer)
We conducted a dose-response laboratory study to quantify the level of exposure to dietary Hg, delivered as methylmercury chloride (CH3HgCl), that is associated with suppressed immune function in captive-reared common loon (Gavia immer) chicks. We used the phytohemagglutinin (PHA) skin test to assess T-lymphocyte function and the sheep red blood cell (SRBC) hemagglutination test to...
