| mercury and selenium levels in 19 species of saltwater fish from new jersey as a function of species, size, and season. | there are few data on risks to biota and humans from mercury levels in saltwater fish. this paper examines mercury and selenium levels in muscle of 19 species of fish caught by recreational fisherfolk off the new jersey shore, as a function of species of fish, size, and season, and risk of mercury to consumers. average mercury levels ranged from 0.01 ppm (wet weight) (menhaden brevoortia tyrannus) to 1.83 ppm (mako shark isurus oxyrinchus). there were four categories of mercury levels: very high ... | 2011 | 21292311 |
| excitation-emission matrix scan analysis of raw fish oil from coastal new jersey menhaden collected before and after hurricane sandy. | the impact of hurricane sandy (october 29, 2012) on pah exposure was investigated in adult atlantic menhaden (brevoortia tyrannus) collected along the nj coast. collections were made in august, september and/or october of 2011, 2012 and 2013. pahs were monitored in raw fish oil using excitation-emission matrix (eem) spectroscopy. results showed that raw fish oils had relatively high levels of high molecular weight, pah-like compounds (173 to 24,421ng/ml) compared to values reported for bile in o ... | 2016 | 26849916 |
