"Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. "Oxidized_mercury" refers to mercury in ionic form (Hg²⁺ or Hg⁺), formed by the oxidation of elemental mercury (Hg⁰), typically combined with non-carbon elements such as oxygene (mercury oxyde, HgO), sulfur (mercury sulfide, HgS), chlorine (mercury chloride, HgCl₂). The surface called "sea floor" means the lower boundary of the ocean.

"Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. "Oxidized mercury" refers to mercury in its ionic form, which may be directly emitted to the environment or formed through the oxidation of elemental mercury. The surface called "sea floor" means the lower boundary of the ocean.
