Résumé
Nearshore systems play an important role as mercury (Hg) sources to the open ocean and to human health via fish consumption. The nearshore system along East Asia is of particular concern given the rapid industrialization, which contributes to significant anthropogenic Hg emissions and releases. We used Hg stable isotopes to characterize Hg sources in the sediment and fish along the west coast of Korea, located at the northeast of the East China Sea. The Hg isotope ratios of the west coast sediments (δ
