| Abstract: | Concentrations of zinc and cadmium in muscle tissue or whole Pacific hake, Merluccius productus (Ayres), increase with increasing total wet weight, especially for smaller fish. These trends appear to be related to the euphausiid diet of hake. Except for the isolated population in Puget Sound, no relationship between zinc or cadmium concentration and collection site is apparent. |
