Abstract: Mercury concentration in edible portion of some popular sweet fish species namely,Tenualosa
Ilisha,Pangasius pangasius, Septinna phasa, Neopropius atherinoides,Otolithoides pama , Puntius
sarana,Ompok pabda, Sperata aor, Clarias batrachus, Heteropneustes fossil ,Labeo rohita, and Catla
catla were determined by radiochemical neutron activation analysis (RNAA).
The results were found to
vary from 0.
243 to 0.
675 µg g-1
on dry weight, where four species had mercury concentration, 0.
