Abstract
⺠The effects of skin removal on concentrations of mercury and persistent organochlorines in four fish species were assessed. ⺠Concentrations of the lipophilic organochlorines declined after skin removal, which reduced the lipid contents of the filets. ⺠Mercury concentrations increase after skin removal, indicating mercury is mainly associated with fish muscles. ⺠Trimming skin from salmon and trout filets before consumption is helpful in reducing exposure to toxic contaminants.
