Total mercury content and its distribution in muscles and viscera of male and female blue crab (Callinectes sapidus Rothbum) and deep water pink shrimp (Parapenacus longirostris) collected from the 3 main fishing grounds near the Alexandria coast in the Mediterranean sea was estimated. The results indicate that the mercury content in the muscles of both species differ according to fishing areas, size, sex, and species. More than 75% of total mercury were accumulated in the viscera of both species which indicates that the mercury entered in these organisms via the feed chain.
对从地中海亚历山大海岸附近3个主要渔场采集的雄性和雌性蓝蟹(Callinectes sapidus Rothbum)以及深水粉红虾(Parapenacus longirostris)肌肉和内脏中的总汞含量及其分布进行了估算。结果表明,这两种物种肌肉中的汞含量因捕捞区域、大小、性别和物种而异。两种物种超过75%的总汞积累在内脏中,这表明汞是通过食物链进入这些生物体内的。
