Short summary
We integrate bioaccumulation and biotic Hg transformations into a coupled ecosystem–mercury model to assess their effect on marine Hg cycling. Bioaccumulation increases methylmercury levels, especially in productive coastal waters, and alters Hg exchange between the Baltic and North Seas. These results highlight strong ecosystem feedbacks on marine Hg dynamics.
