Abstract(s)
This work discusses the extent of sediment mercury retention in the most contaminated sites in the lagoon, and its exportation to
the water column as well as transfer to biogenic suspended particles and to sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). Therefore,the main question, with important environmental management implications, was to assess if mercury is effectively retained in the sediments or is progressively released to the
water column in considerable amounts.
