This data article includes information on the impact of gold mining along five zones of a tropical river in the Pacific region of Colombia. The concentrations of total mercury (THg), total length, mertimercury (MeHg) were determined in 16 species of fish. With this information, it was shown as the concentrations of mercury in fish are influenced by the distribution in the contamination along the Atrato River Basin [1]. Further, THg and MeHg concentrations were related with the trophic level to show biomagnification, and with total length to show bioaccumulation, which is important to establish the potential risk to the environment and also to the health of the inhabitants living along the basin from the consumption of fish.
这篇数据文章包含了关于哥伦比亚太平洋地区一条热带河流五个区域的金矿开采影响的信息。测定了16种鱼类中的总汞（THg）、全长、甲基汞（MeHg）浓度。根据这些信息，表明鱼类中的汞浓度受阿特拉托河流域污染分布的影响[1]。此外，总汞和甲基汞浓度与营养级相关以显示生物放大作用，与全长相关以显示生物累积作用，这对于确定对环境以及对流域沿线居民因食用鱼类而产生的健康潜在风险非常重要。
