Mercury exposure and trophic ecology of urban nesting black-legged kittiwakes from France

Résumé

This is the first record of Hg levels for black-legged kittiwake in southern Europe. Adult blood Hg concentrations are up to three times higher than in Arctic colonies. 33% of adults reach concentrations categorized at moderate risk for Hg. Hg concentrations increased with δ 15 N values in adults. Atlantic herring and Atlantic mackerel were the main prey.
