Source and cause of mercury in Pacific fish discovered (Video)

Mercury is carried in the atmosphere from industrial plants in China and India to the Pacific. The mercury gets into the ocean through rain. The mercury sinks to the bottom of the ocean where bacteria act on it to produce methylmercury. The mercury that is deposited in the ocean is often consumed by smaller animals that die and sink to the ocean floor where the same bacterial process occurs.
Despite international agreements to limit the levels of mercury released into the atmosphere no concrete plan for the reduction of mercury emission exists.
