· Poult. Sci.; (United States)
Heart, brain, liver, kidney, breast, and thigh tissues of McGraw-Mallard ducks which had been given oral doses of methyl mercury chloride ranging from 0 to 19 mg. MeHg/kg. body weight were analyzed for total mercury by atomic absorption techniques. Kidney and liver accumulated the highest levels of mercury and the rate of increase with increasing levels of MeHg administered was higher than the levels in the other tissues. Mercury levels in breast, thigh, brain, and heart were not significantly different. Regression equations for all six tissues are illustrated.
