Résumé
Since mercury (Hg) biogeochemistry in the Southern Ocean is minimally documented, we investigated Hg stable isotopes in the blood of seabirds breeding at different latitudes in the Antarctic, Subantarctic and Subtropical zones. Hg isotopic composition was determined in adult penguins (5 species) and skua chicks (2 species) from Adélie Land (66°39'S, Antarctic) to Crozet (46°25'S, Subantarctic) and Amsterdam Island (37°47'S, Subtropical). Mass-dependent (MDF, δ
