The correlation between mercury concentrations‚ weight and length in various fish species are indicated in figures 4.20-21. Total mercury concentrations were determined in some fish species in both the dry and the wet season from the Weija dam. About 42 samples of fish which consisted of three (3) species were sampled in all. Among the species were tilapia zilli (n = 7). Tilapia mariae (n = 7) and Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (n=7) all of which are consumable (edible) by human. The mean T-Hg concentration

Seminar Summary #2 Ecotoxicology in Ontario‚ Canada According to Dr. Kathleen Harding‚ it takes 20 years for mercury levels to return back to their prior‚ basic levels when a dam is built. Dr. Harding illustrated her work during her master’s thesis in Ontario lakes‚ where she told that fish had higher mercury levels than other places. The ministry of Ontario wanted to monitor mercury levels‚ so Dr. Harding studied the streams and rivers around the Great Lakes area. She illustrated the differences
