Abstract Trace elements including mercury, cadmium, selenium, and stable nitrogen isotope ratios (δ 15 N) were measured in tissues of Pacific seabirds. Two species of albatross ( Diomedea immutabilis, Diomedea nigripes ), four species of shearwaters ( Puffinus bulleri, Puffinus carneipes, Puffinus g...
