Purpose
|
Determine the concentrations of mercury in the fish of Oyster Pond.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
Samples and chemical analysis;Samples and chemical analysis;
Determinations of mercury in white perch and river herring.

|
|
Summary
|
Four specimens of adult white perch were collected within 10 m upstream and
downstream of the Oyster Pond weir using a spinning rod with a streamer fly
that resembled the migrating YOY herring. The fly was cast with the aid of a
water filled bobber. The fish weights ranged from 125-513 grams. They were
sampled for analysis of total mercury and the remainder was wrapped in aluminum
foil and frozen as a archive.
