The concentration of mercury in somecommercially important finfishes and shellfishes from Ennore estuary which receives effluent from a chlor-alkali plant, has bccn measured. The concentration registered in finfishes (Chanos chanos and Liza macrolepis), prawn (Penaeus indicus) and edlble oyster (Crassosbrea madraensis) do not pose an imminent threat to the human consumers or to the biota thcnrsclves. The distribution of mercury load exhibited seasonality, the higher values being observed during monsoon period in all the organisms. The mercury level observed in the biota is oystcr > prawn > finflshcs. The results indicate the suitability of the oystcr, C. madrasensis as a scntincl organism for monitoring mercury contamination in estuaries. Not Available |
