Throughout the cruise I have been running experiments on photodecomposition of methylmercury in seawater. The samples in the left incubation chamber are covered in foil to block light and observe decomposition by microbiology while the samples in the right chamber are exposed to study decomposition by sunlight. Both chambers recieve a constant supply of fresh seawater in order to maintain the same temperature conditions as the ocean surface.
