Total As (mean ± standard deviation) in vent organisms

Vent	Species	Body part	N	Total As (mg/kg)
Rainbow	R. exoculata	Tail	3	3.3 ± 0.8
TAG	R. exoculata	Tail	3	27.6 ± 2.2
TAG	R. exoculata	whole	3	29.8 ± 3.9
Rainbow	B. azoricus	whole	3	9.9 ± 1.7
Lucky Strike	B. azoricus	whole	12	11.6 ± 2.4
Lucky Strike	B.seepensis	whole	16 ^a	18.2 ± 3.8
Lucky Strike	P.smaragdina	whole	10 ^b	67.8
TAG	P.smaragdina	whole	20 ^c	14.0 ± 5.8^c

5 samples were analyzed as composites of n=2; B.seepensis were collected from B. azoricus samples from Lucky Strike

Analyzed as 1 (Lucky Strike) or 2( TAG) composite samples of n=10

Mean ± relative difference (standard deviation could not be calculated for n=2).
