Beschreibung:
Mercury concentrations in Pacific hake increase with fish size and with the latitude of collection. While the mercury-size trend is consistent with data for other species, the latitudinal trend is opposite to that reported for other fishes over the same geographical area. Consequently, latitudinal trends of mercury concentrations in fishes do not necessarily indicate trends of mercury concentrations in water. Food habits and metabolism may cause the observed variations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cutshall, N H -- Naidu, J R -- Pearcy, W G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Jun 30;200(4349):1489-91.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/663631" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
