Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope data for: 'Ecotoxicoparasitology of the gastrointestinal tracts of pinnipeds: effect of parasites on bioavailability of total mercury (THg)'
Parasites, such as acanthocephalans, cestodes, and some species of nematodes acquire nutrients from the lumen contents within the host gastrointestinal (GI) tract. For ubiquitous toxicants like mercury, both the host species and parasites are potentially exposed. The focus of this study was to deter...
