Chandler Lake fishing
Detailed Description
The sampling team at Chandler Lake, Gates of the Arctic National Park, walk along the shoreline to a new angling location. While treated to beautiful views, field biologists fished for lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) as part of a study investigating the biomagnification of mercury through lake food webs.

Mercury concentrations in fish likely reflect different energy sources in lake food webs. Species, populations, or individuals may contain higher and variable concentrations of mercury, which may relate directly to prey mercury content, diets of fish, and fish foraging strategies.
