Sampling were carried out from July 2004 to July 2005. In addition 78 samples were collected. T-Hg concentration were calculated in relation to biometric factors. T-Hg was measured by the LECO AMA 254 Advanced Mercury Analyzer (USA) according to ASTM standard NoD-6722. Each sample was analyzed 3 times. Accuracy of T-Hg analysis was checked by running three samples of Standard Reference Materials; SRM 1633b, SRM 2711 and SRM 2709. Detection limit was 0.001mg/kg in dry weight. The minimum and maximum concentration ofT-Hg in dorsal muscle was 0.2ppm in one year and 1.2ppm in five year class. The mean T-Hg significantly increased wit age increased (P<0.05). The T-Hg mean concentration. In 1 and 2 year classes was 0.17 M3 10.22092/ISFJ.2017.110286 ER -
