摘要

Causes of variation in mobilization of mercury into Black-winged Stilt Himantopus himantopus chicks were studied through analysis of stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen. Blood and breast feathers were collected from chicks in coastal saltpans during successive breeding seasons. Detritus samples and potential prey (macroinvertebrates) were also collected. Total mercury concentrations and stable isotope signatures were measured using atomic absorption spectroscopy and isotope ratio mass spectrometry respectively. Mercury levels in Chironomidae, Cor-ixidae and Hydrophilidae correlated with mercury levels in chick feathers. Differences of δ~(15)N signatures between macroinvertebrate groups indicated that they belong to different trophic levels. δ~(15)N signatures of invertebrates correlated with mercury levels in invertebrates and chicks, but not with δ~(15)N signatures in chicks. Between-group and between-site differences of δ~(15)N signatures and mercury levels in invertebrates suggested that they contribute differently to mercury mobilization into chicks, and their relative contribution depends on prey availability in each site. Inter-site differences in the biomagnification factor reinforced that idea. δ~(13)C signatures in invertebrates marked a larger range of carbon sources than just detritus. Variation of water inflow regime and prey availability may cause between-group and between-site differences of δ~(13)C signatures in prey. Discrepancies between feather and blood for δ~(13)C signatures in Praias-Sado and Vaia suggested that temporal variation of prey availability may be the main factor affecting mercury mobilization into chicks in both those cases, since their water inflow regimes are the same. The lowest levels of δ~(13)C signatures in Vau suggested that water inflow regime may be the main factor in this case, since no discrepancy existed in δ~(13)C signatures between blood and feather.
