The total mercury in fish from Tatelu and Galangan is
shown in Table 2. In spite of their smaller size,5 mean
total mercury in fish from Tatelu was higher than fish
from Galangan; 45% of fish tested from Tatelu had Hg
levels exceeding WHO guidelines, as opposed to just
10% from Galangan. The mean total Hg in muscles of
fish from Tatelu was 0.58±0.44μg/g (N=131), whereas
mean Hg in specimens from Galangan were 0.25±
0.69μg/g. Table 3 shows total Hg concentrations in fish
(μg/g) of distinct sites in Tatelu and Galangan.
