Table 2: The average (\(\pm\)standard deviation) of Hg concentrations (ug/g) measured in fish tissues fed with different diets (CD, D1, D2) at different times of exposure (T0, T4, T10, T20) and at the cessation of exposure (T30) i.e., 10 days after the end of the administration of mercury The results for unexposed fish were also reported. Results are expressed in wet weight. Figure 3: Concentration of mercury (expressed in mg/kg) in the organs and tissues at the end of the Hg administration (T20) and after 10 days from the end of the administration (T30). The error bars indicate the standard deviation of the replies (N. 6).
