Variability of mercury and selenium levels in clutches of Audouin's gulls (Larus audouinii) breeding at the Chafarinas Islands, Southwest Mediterranean.

Abstract:

:We determined mercury and selenium in 43 eggs (eggshell, albumen, and yolk) which belong to different clutch sizes of Audouin's gull from the Chafarinas Islands. The results were compared with those obtained previously with the same species at the Ebro Delta. Both, the intra- and the interclutch sources of variability have been examined. There is an effect of the female on mercury and selenium concentrations in a clutch, which supports the use of eggs as monitoring tools. The distribution pattern of mercury among albumen, yolk and eggshell, the dynamics of this element during the laying process, as well as data concerning egg formation strategies suggest that the mercury in the albumen corresponds mainly to the mercury acquired by the female while feeding in the breeding area. The mercury and selenium levels of the eggs from the Chafarinas Islands were lower than those of the Ebro Delta, which can be due to differences in both the marine contamination and the diet in the two colonies.
