Total and organic mercury in the pacific blue marlin
Copyright policy )Total and organic mercury in the pacific blue marlin
Muscle, liver, nerve tissue, and gonads of Pacific Blue Marlin were analyzed for total and organic mercury. The ratios of total to organic mercury in the tissues indicate a partial physiological control over the form in which the mercury exists in the marlin. Total to organic ratios in the muscle, gonad, and central nervous tissue are similar. The liver, however, with a ratio of 35:1 reflects an unusually high proportion of inorganic to organic mercury. A possible explanation involves demethylation in the liver. (JTE)
