Contaminants in European Hake (Merluccius merluccius) from the Northeast Atlantic Ocean - Contaminants in European Hake
In this study, a comprehensive survey of contaminants in European Hake ( Merluccius merluccius ) from Norwegian waters has been carried out. The concentrations of heavy metals and several different organic pollutants in fillet (n = 788) and liver (n = 31) of European Hake were generally low. The pol...
