摘要：Mercury contents of the tissues of tuna fish were determined. The ratio of methylmercury to total mercury in the edible meat was higher than that in the liver. Binding properties of the mercurials to the proteins in these tissues were investigated by gel filtration. Distribution pattern of mercury in the tissue proteins seems to depend on chemical structure of mercury compounds.
