Mercury in zooplankton from the Malacca Straits.
Total mercury concentration in mixed zooplankton was determined from near surface waters in Malacca Straits (05o 59' N, 99o 59' E and 01o 10' N, 103° 29' E). Total mercury concentrations in mixed zooplankton ranged from 1.12 to 4.68 ng dry weight g-1 with a mean of 2.08 ± 0.25 ng...
