An Assessment of the Total and Methyl Mercury Content of Zooplankton and Fish Tissue Collected from Kuwait Territorial Waters

The results of a study of total-Hg (T-Hg) and MeHg concentrations in zooplankton and various fish species collected from Kuwait Bay and the northern area of Kuwait are reported. T-Hg concentrations in zooplankton ranged from 0.004 – 0.035 μg g −1 (dry weight) with MeHg representing
