Abstract
The purpose of this study was to estimate the temporal fluxes of mercury (Hg) among the diverse biotic components of the aquatic ecosystem of the LG-2 reservoir before and shortly after flooding, and to compare the relative magnitudes of these fluxes. Flooding took place from autumn 1978 to autumn 1979. The basic food chain considered was: Phytoplankton ==> Zooplankton ==> Prey Fish ==> Predatory Fish.
