  • Biomagnification of Methylmercury in a Marine Plankton Ecosystem
    EGU2020-1695, updated on 01 Oct 2021 https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu2020-1695 EGU General Assembly 2020 © Author(s) 2021. This work is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. Biomagnification of methylmercury in a marine plankton ecosystem Peipei Wu1, Emily Zakem2,3, Stephanie Dutkiewicz2, and Yanxu Zhang1 1School of Atmospheric Sciences, Nanjing University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China ([email protected]) 2Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA 3Department of Biological Sciences, University of Southern California, Los Angeles,USA Methylmercury is greatly bioconcentrated and biomagnified in marine plankton ecosystems, and these communities form the basis of marine food webs. Therefore, evaluating the potential exposure of methylmercury to higher trophic levels, including humans, requires a better understanding of its distribution in the ocean and the factors that control its biomagnification. In this study, a coupled physical/ecological model was used to simulate the trophic transfer of monomethylmercury (MMHg) in a marine plankton ecosystem. The model includes phytoplankton, a microbial community, herbivorous zooplankton (HZ), and carnivorous zooplankton (CZ). The model captured both shorter food chains in oligotrophic regions, with small HZ feeding on small phytoplankton, and longer chains in higher nutrient conditions, with larger HZ feeding on larger phytoplankton and larger CZ feeding on larger HZ. In the model, trophic dilution occurred in the food webs that involved small zooplankton, as the grazing fluxes of small zooplankton were insufficient to accumulate more MMHg in themselves than in their prey. The model suggested that biomagnification was more prominent in large zooplankton and that the microbial community played an important role in the trophic transfer of MMHg.

In this thesis, I have focused on two processes, namely (i) the food chain bioaccumulation of OCs, and (ii) the trophic status of the aquatic system. To test the biomagnification theory, I investigated PCB concentrations in planktonic food chains in lakes. The concentra­ tions of PCB on a lipid basis did not increase with increasing trophic level. Hence, I could give no support to the theory of bio­ magnification.

  • Biomagnification Directions
    In 1962, Rachel Carson published 'Silent Spring', which drew attention to how the use of pesticides was indirectly decimating bird populations by causing thinning of egg-shells. This model illustrates how DDT in near-shore waters accumulates in a 'food chain' of phytoplankton, zooplankton, smelt, salmon, and pelicans. Background There is a general phenomenon that organisms use only a portion of the energy they consume for growth. The remaining consumed energy is ‘burned off’ in metabolism, or passes through the animal undigested. For example, let’s consider a gazelle eating grass. For simplicity, we will say that 10% of the energy consumed by the cow is used for growth. In this case to grow a 100 kilogram gazelle, it would have to eat 1000 kilograms of grass. Similarly, in the case of lions eating gazelles, it would take 1000 kilograms of gazelle (or 10 gazelles) to grow a 100 kilogram lion. Connecting the energy transfer from the grass to the lion (through the gazelle), it takes 10,000 kilograms of grass to grow the 100 kilogram lion. This is what underlies trophic level energetics. Some substances, such as heavy metals like mercury and some pesticides, are not broken down by the organism that consumes them, and remain in their tissues throughout their lives. Thus, the organism retains all of these compounds that were in what it ate. Connecting this with the trophic level dynamics, these substances accumulate in the organism to about 10 times the amount contained in the organisms it is eating. This phenomenon is call biomagnification, or bioaccumulation.

  • Bioconcentration, Bioaccumulation, and the Biomagnification in Puget
    Jason E. Hall Bioconcentration, Bioaccumulation, and Biomagnification in Puget Sound Biota: Assessing the Ecological Risk of Chemical Contaminants in Puget Sound The following piece is republished from the UWT Journal on the Environment, an electronic, peer-reviewed journal designed to provide students with a forum in which to publish and read primary and secondary research, reports on conferences and events, and ideas and opinions in the environmental sciences and studies. Tahoma West encourages submissions that deal with scientific and social matters. Note: For the tables referred to in this article please see Journal of the Environment: <http://courses. washington. edu/uwtjoe/>. Introduction: Puget Sound has a large urban and rural human population, which currently exceeds 3 million, and many industrialized ports and shorelines that provide numerous sources of non-point and point source pollution to Puget Sound (Konasewich et al. 1982). Hundreds of poten­ tia lly toxic chemicals are present in Puget Sound sediments (Matins et al. 1982, NOAA and WSDE 2000, Konasewich et al. 1982, and Lefkovitz et al. J 997). As of 1982, J 83 organic compounds had been identified in Puget Sound sediments, biota, and water (Konasewicb et al. 1982). Although chemical contaminants and heavy metals are present in sedi­ ments throughout Puget Sound, these pollutants are generally greatest in number and concentration within the sediments and embayments that are adjacent to the most populated and industrialized areas, such as Elliot Bay, Commencement Bay, and Sinclair Illlet (Malins et al. 1982, Lefkovitz et aJ. 1997, Konasewich et al. 1982, and NOAA and WSDE 2000). However, the distribution and concentrations of chemical contami­ nants and heavy metals in Puget Sound generally reflect their source.
