Abstract
The information in this article has been funded in part by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. It has been subjected to Agency peer review and approved for publication. The conclusions and opinions are solely those of the authors and are not necessarily the views of the Agency.Mercury is a toxic metal sometimes found in fish consumed by humans. The state of Maine conducted a field study of 115 lakes to characterize mercury levels in fish, measuring mercury and 10 variables on lake characteristics. From these data, we can investigate four questions of interest: 1. Are mercury levels high enough to be of concern in Maine lakes? 2. Do dams and other man-made flowage controls increase mercury levels? 3. Do different types of lakes have different mercury levels? 4. Which lake characteristics best predict mercury levels?
