7. Cumulative distribution function of concentrations of mercury (solid line) in fish tissue in the population of northeastern lakes. The vertical reference lines mark values of mercury concentrations judged to pose a risk to the health of human and other piscivorous mammals (Yeardley et al. 1998). The horizontal reference lines indicate that mercury concentrations in fish tissue exceed those values in 26% to 51% of lakes in the Northeast

   Mercury accumulation in fish is a global public health concern, because fish are the primary source of toxic methylmercury to humans.

   Fish consumption from the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River has been decreasing over the last years due to advisories and increased awareness of the presence of several contaminants. Methylmercury (MeHg), a well-established neurotoxicant even at low levels of exposure, bioaccumulates.
