Heavy Metals in Commercial Fish from the Barents Sea (Winter 2011)
To assess the significance of metals in biota of the Barents Sea, preliminary information is presented on concentrations of Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Mn, Co, Pb, Fe, Cd and As in livers and muscle tissues of 3 commercial fish species collected in winter 2011. Generally, our results are within the reported lit...
