Blue crabs were harvested from an area known to have a high level of mercury in the sediment due to an industrial chlor-alkali process. The body was split and the edible meat in one half was analyzed for total mercury and the other half was analyzed for methylmercury. A highly significant correlation (0.95%) was found between total mercury and methylmercury. Analysis indicated that approximately 35% of the total mercury was present as methylmercury.
