Monitoring of contaminants in fish generally involves lethal sampling, but public scrutiny and increased pressure on fisheries have driven the need to develop nonlethal sampling methods. We examined the ability of adipose, anal, and caudal fin tissues to serve as nonlethal surrogates for lethal musc...
