Using complementary biomarkers to unravel fish lifetime exposure to hypoxia and mercury

Abstract

Aquatic ecosystems are losing oxygen due to climate change. This deoxygenation can favor microbial methylation of mercury (Hg). To understand the dynamics of Hg under increasing deoxygenation, we simultaneously quantified both Hg and hypoxia (
