Abstract
⺠We examined factors that affect estuarine sediment and biota Hg and MeHg content. ⺠Spatial patterns in sediment Hg and MeHg were governed by total organic carbon. ⺠Methylation of Hg was inversely correlated with bottom water dissolved oxygen. ⺠Accumulation of total Hg was elevated in benthic infauna and upper trophic biota. ⺠Biotic Hg accumulation was reduced in organic rich sediments and hypoxic waters.
