We compare levels of mercury in two common types of canned tuna (albacore & light) to explore relationships between abiotic components (mercury) and organisms (tuna and humans). Using bar charts of means, box plots with dots, and summary statistics we explore the data as you can in the [How Much Mercury is at the Top of the Food Chain?](https://tuvalabs.com/datasets/mercury_levels_in_tuna/activities/view/548) activity.
