Arctic Seabirds Transport Marine-Derived
Transport of pollutants by migratory species, such as salmon, is known to affect contaminant distributions in Alaskan nursery lakes (1, 2). Arctic seabirds may also be transporting industrial and agricultural contaminants from the ocean to land. Most of these seabirds are pelagic feeders with popula...
