Did you know mercury in ocean sediments can enter the food web, building to harmful levels in marine wildlife and our seafood?
AIMS is testing for mercury levels in tropical Australian waters. The good news is that the concentrations we’ve found in Australian fish are pretty low, when compared to similar species in other countries.
🎥 In this video, Dr Darren Koppel, an AIMS research scientist who specialises in environmental impacts and risk assessment, demos the lab equipment he uses to measure mercury content in the sediment samples we collect off northern Australia.
