Scientists found that zooplankton fed high-quality, phosphorous-rich food end up with much lower concentrations of toxic methylmercury. The better-fed animals gained more weight relative to the amount of toxin they ingested, thus diluting the level of toxin in their tissues. The result suggests ways in which methylmercury and other toxins can be slowed in their passage up the aquatic food chain to fish and humans.
