Abstract
⺠Total mercury concentrations ([THg]) were measured in 9 co-located anadromous and non-anadromous Arctic charr populations. ⺠Mean [THg] in non-anadromous populations exceeded mean [THg] in spatially paired anadromous populations. ⺠Among-individual variation in [THg] was best explained by fish age. ⺠The lower [THg] in anadromous fish could not be explained by differences in age, fork-length, trophic level, or growth rate. ⺠Variations in Arctic charr [THg] were independent of latitude (49-81° N) in eastern Canada.
