Ontogenetic Growth Changes in Mercury and Stable Isotope Ratios of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen in Male and Female <i>Dalli</i>-Type Dall’s Porpoises (<i>Phocoenoides dalli</i>) Stranded in Hokkaido, Japan

Ontogenetic Growth Changes in Mercury and Stable Isotope Ratios of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen in Male and Female <i>Dalli</i>-Type Dall’s Porpoises (<i>Phocoenoides dalli</i>) Stranded in Hokkaido, Japan

We investigated the ontogenetic growth changes in total mercury (THg) concentrations, δ<sup>13</sup>C, δ<sup>15</sup>N, and δ<sup>18</sup>O values, and body length (BL) of <i>dalli</i>-type Dall’s porpoises. THg concentrations in the liver of mature po...
