BILL OF FARE Bar Snacks PLATTERS Our group is researching, “Which . macroinvertebrate. has the most mercury when compared throughout the trophic pyramid?” . Macroinvertebrates. are insects without a backbone that can be seen with the naked eye.  Mercury is an element that can be found in water, air and soil or sediment. There is more than one specific type of mercury like inorganic, organic, elemental, and metallic (metal). Mercury can also give off toxic vapors which is dangerous for the environment because they are clear, odorless, and invisible, so we don’t even know they are evaporating because we can’t see or smell them. Mercury’s chemical symbol is Hg, which comes from the Latin word . Introduction. Crayfish are small, freshwater . arthropods. that resemble lobsters. . They are usually brownish-green in color, but some species may be white, pink, or even blue.. Freshwater crayfish are divided into two family groups.. Crayfish.
