Abstract
Muscle tissue of 81 fish from several locations in the Saskatchewan River system contained an average of more than 1.0 ppm of mercury. Fish collected at two sites had much higher concentrations, with individual fish containing up to 11.2 ppm. The concentrations found were higher than those reported for fish from uncontaminated environments, and corresponded to values reported for Scandinavian fish collected in areas of industrial pollution.Keywords
