High concentrations of methyknercury in subthermocline low-oxygen seawater were significantly and positively correlated with median daytime depth (<200 m to >300 m) of eight species of pelagic fishes mean total mercury concentrations in whole fishes ranged between 57 and 377 jjg/kg DW. The enhanced mercury accumulations in the marine mesopelagic compartment is attributable to diet and ultimately to water chemistry that controls mercury speciation and uptake at the base of the food chain (Monteiro et al. 1996).

The introduction of other organisms may be regarded as positive events. Benthic species such as mya and anadara widely spread over the regions with low oxygen contents unfavorable for other benthos representatives they provided valuable food resources for benthofagous fish, while their larvae are consumed by small pelagic fish. The role of the fouling species Balanus im-...

Fish oils are a byproduct of the production of fish meal. Both commodities are subject to price flucmations that are only indirectly related. The meal has been historically used for terrestrial animal feedsmffs. The production process can be condensed to apply to two basic functions take fish or fish waste, cook it, and squeeze it (Figure 2). Subsequent steps are varied for each commodity, but they essentially are well described by Young (20), whereas the desirable properties of fish meal are concisely described by Bimbo and Crowther (21). Similar summaries, especially on sources and production, are provided by various chapter authors in a book on pelagic fish (22), because most fish caught for meal and oil are pelagic (migratory) and subject to seasonal exploitation. The principal competition to fish meal is soybean meal and other oilseed meals (23).
