Effects of low dietary levels of methyl mercury on mallard reproduction

Summary
The greatest harm to reproduction associated with the diet containing 3 ppm mercury was an increase in duckling mortality, but reduced egg laying and increased embryonic mortality also occurred, and there seemed to be no eggshell thinning associated with mercury treatment.
