In fish, what proportion of total mercury is expected to be methylmercury in whole blood samples?

05 July 2022 0 3K Report

In other words, what percentage MeHg (%MeHg) can be expected in fish blood? How variable can it be among individual fish? I am looking for studies that specifically look at the ratio between MeHg and THg in fish blood (not muscle). Thank you!
