analysis of fin clips as a nonlethal method for monitoring mercury in fish.monitoring of mercury in fish typically involves removal of individuals from the sampled population and subsequent analysis of fillets. this study assessed whether the analysis of fins, structures routinely clipped to mark released fish in population studies, could provide a nonlethal approach for estimating mercury concentrations in axial muscle (fillets). we analyzed fillets and selected fins from 401 northern pike (esox lucius) and 79 walleye (sander vitreus) from 21 lakes in minnesota and wi ...200818323115
mercury in freshwater fish of northeast north america--a geographic perspective based on fish tissue monitoring databases.as part of an initiative to assemble and synthesize mercury (hg) data from environmental matrices across northeastern north america, we analyzed a large dataset comprised of 15,305 records of fish tissue hg data from 24 studies from new york state to newfoundland. these data were summarized to provide mean hg concentrations for 40 fish species and associated families. detailed analyses were carried out using data for 13 species. hg in fishes varied by geographic area, waterbody type, and waterbo ...200515931965
