  abstract = {{M}ercury ({H}g) concentrations and stable isotope values (delta {C}-13 and delta {N}-15) were investigated in micronekton collected from {L}a {P}{\'e}rouse and {MAD}-{R}idge seamounts, {R}eunion {I}sland and the southern {M}ozambique {C}hannel. {O}rganisms occupying epipelagic habitats showed lower {H}g concentrations relative to deeper dwelling bentho-pelagic ones. {I}ncreasing {H}g concentrations with increasing body size were recorded in the {M}ozambique {C}hannel and {R}eunion {I}sland. {P}ositive relationships were observed between {H}g levels and delta {N}-15 values in pelagic nekton assemblages collected at {MAD}-{R}idge seamount and the southern {M}ozambique {C}hannel, suggesting bio-magnification of {H}g. {C}oncentrations of {H}g in organisms across the south-western {I}ndian {O}cean were within the same range of values. {T}otal {H}g concentrations depend on a range of factors linked to habitat range, body size and trophic position of the individuals. {T}o our knowledge, this is the first study investigating the patterns of {H}g concentrations in pelagic nekton assemblages from the south-western {I}ndian {O}cean.},
