Abstract

ABSTRACTSThe lead and cadmium content of selected Oregon groundfish was determined. Rex sole (Glyptocephalus zachirus), English sole (Parophrys vetulus), Dover sole (Microstomus pacificus), petrale sole (Eopsetta jordani), orange rockfish (Sebastes pinniger), lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus), Pacific hake (Merluccius productus), starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus) and sand sole (Psettichthys melanostictus) samples had mean lead and cadmium contents of < 0.25 ppm. Therefore Oregon groundfish would not be a source of toxic levels of Pb and Cd in the diet.
