Mercury levels in eleven species of fishes collected from lower Delaware Bay in April 1975 ranged from 0.018 to 0.321 microgram/g and averaged 0.092 microgram/g. Raja eglanteria, the clearnose skate, had the highest mean mercury concentration (0.214 microgram/g). No correlation was found with feeding habits. These assays provide baseline data for future measurement of mercury accumulation by fishes in this region.
