Journal Article 1970 01 01 <span>Mercury levels in hepatopancreas, muscle and exoskeleton tissues of male and female green tiger prawn, <em>P<span dir="rtl">.</span>semisulcatus,</em> from the Persian Gulf were compared. Significantly higher levels (p<0.05) of mercury in female prawn and hepatopancreas tissue were encountered (p<0.05). Significantly higher concentration (p<0.05) of the mercury was also observed in summer than in winter season. This variation could result in internal biological cycle of the organism or variation in bioavailability of mercury in environment.</span> https://ecopersia.modares.ac.ir/article_17104_c994a9b0029e3f2dab7cdd694cb2f47b.pdf
