While the primary effort of the National Canners Association and Food and Drug Administration was involved with examination of the extent of the mercury problem in processed tuna, the National Marine Fisheries Service was defining the mercury levels as they existed in the tuna resource at sea. A study was therefore initiated early in 1971 by the National Marine Fisheries Service to relate mercury levels in tuna to such factors as species, size of fish, geographic area of catch and distribution within individual fish. The purpose of this report is to present the data that were accumulated.
