Total and organic mercury concentrations in the muscles of Pacific albacore (Thunnus alalunga) and bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus)

•Some large BET had organic mercury concentrations exceeding 1μgg−1 wet weight.•Relationships between total/organic Hg concentrations and their size were found.•Muscle Hg bioaccumulation rates of BET were higher than those of ALB.•Young BET contain lower muscle total/organic Hg concentrations than s...
