To better understand the risks and benefits of eating wild-harvested fish from the Northwest Territories, Canada, levels of total mercury (HgT) and selenium (Se) and composition of omega-3 fatty acid ( n -3 FA) were measured in muscle tissue of fish harvested from lakes in the Dehcho Region, Northwe...
