The higher mercury content was found in the samples of Uranoscopus japonicus. Mean value of the total mercury contents of these 10 species was 0.036 ppm; highest in U.japonicus (0.082 ppm) and lowest in Psenopsis anmala (0.010 ppm). The mean values of the total mercury contents in marine fishes in the south-east region of the South China Sea were compared to the data obtained in Japanese coastal waters and the East China Sea. The mercury contents were slightly lower in the former region than in the latter two. In this study accumulations of mercury in various fish species related to their feeding habits and growth were discussed.}, pages = {63--67}, title = {Total Mercury Contents in Marine Fishes Caught in the South-East Region of the South China Sea}, volume = {38}, year = {} }
