From: Metal concentrations in coastal sharks from The Bahamas with a focus on the Caribbean Reef shark
Total mercury concentrations (mg kg−1, DW) in the tissues of tiger (n = 6) and Caribbean Reef sharks (n = 23) sampled from the coastal waters of The Bahamas. Asterisk indicates statistical significance at α = 0.05. The median sizes of sharks sampled was 162 cm for Caribbean reef sharks* and 301 cm for tiger sharks. *Note that median length estimates for Caribbean reef sharks are based off n = 22 as a single individual that was measured for THg was DOA and could not be accurately measured for TL.
