The lead and cadmium content of selected Oregon groundfish was determined. Rex sole ( Glyptocephalus zachirus ), English sole ( Parophrys vetulus ), Dover sole ( Microstomus pacificus ), petrale sole ( Eopsetta jordani ), orange rockfish ( Sebastes pinniger ), lingcod ( Ophiodon elongatus ), Pacific hake ( Merluccius productus ), starry flounder ( Platichthys stellatus ) and sand sole ( Psettichthys melanostictus ) samples had mean lead and cadmium contents of < 0.25 ppm. Therefore Oregon groundfish would not be a source of toxic levels of Pb and Cd in the diet.
