Mercury in various tissues of fish caught downstream of a wood pulp factory in the Kammerfoss River, South Norway
- 1. Institutt for Atomenergi, Kjeller (Norway)
Description
The mercury content of perch (Perca fluviatilis) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) was studied during a 5-year period after the ban on phenyl mercury in 1970. Muscular concentrations of about 1μg Hg/g were found, compared with 3-6μg Hg/g found in 1968. Organ distribution studies indicated that high concentrations of mercury may be found in the liver and kidney of fish exposed to high mercury pollution. (author)
