Development of submarine resource may occur pollution of mercury in the ambient seawater. It is useful if there is a handy mercury-monitoring tool for deep-sea. We developed a deep-sea mercury sensor based on an anodic striping voltammetry method. To enhance the sensitivity of the sensor to mercury...
