The paper reports on levels of heavy metals in some organisms from the eastern Adriatic coast and polluted areas near a big urban centre (Split area). Surprisingly high Hg and MeHg concentrations were found in sea bream (Pagellus erythrinus) and striped mullet (Mullus barbatus) from the south-eastern part of the Adriatic. The reason for the high levels are probably geochemical anomalies. Studies of total and organic mercury content in bivalves have also shown that the gills and hepatopancreas had high levels of accumulated mercury. Our results have shown that fish contain significantly higher concentrations of MeHg than mussel. High concentrations of these elements in fish may be a consequence of the methylation process in the visceral organs. Bacterial activity in the intestinal contents is most likely to be responsible for this methylation (Rudd et al., 1980).
