Survey of Total Mercury Content in Fishery Products

Survey of Total Mercury Content in Fishery Products

The total mercury content in 112 fishery products, purchased from Osaka city during 2013–2018, was measured using a heating vaporization mercury analyzer. The average total mercury content in all tuna processed products was found out to be 0.115 μg/g (median=0.070 μg/g). Notably, albacore tuna exhib...

Zusammenfassung:The total mercury content in 112 fishery products, purchased from Osaka city during 2013–2018, was measured using a heating vaporization mercury analyzer. The average total mercury content in all tuna processed products was found out to be 0.115 μg/g (median=0.070 μg/g). Notably, albacore tuna exhibited the highest mercury content with an average concentration of 0.301 μg/g (median=0.296 μg/g). The total mercury concentration of the fishery products, except processed tuna and Kezuribushi (comprising shavings of dried and smoked mackerel, sardine, as well as horse mackerel), was generally low (
