| Title | Great Salt Lake's monimolimnion and its importance for mercury bioaccumulation in brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) |
| Creator | Wurtsbaugh, Wayne A. Jones, Erin F. |
| Description | The Great Salt Lake (Utah) is divided by a railroad causeway that causes the lake's south arm to be chemically stratified, when saltier, denser water from the north underflows into the south, creating an anoxic, sulfide-rich deep brine layer that accumulates high levels of total mercury (Hg; 59 ng L−1) and methylmercury (33 ng L−1). Approximately 40% of this water is advected into the upper mixed layer annually. High mercury levels of brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) in the mixed layer are... |
