Moreover, as a
negative linear relationship was observed between the concentration
of EPA and DHA and the concentration of mercury in SBT tissues,
farming of SBT appears to have the two-fold benefit of
reducing the mercury concentration of SBT tissues and increasing
the EPA and DHA concentration. Although variation is observed between
individual SBT, results indicate that culture of SBT for 94 to
136 days will result in end-products with the highest level of
integrity in terms of nutritional value and consumer safety
