Abstract
Individuals of Ictalurus nebulosus (Le Sueur, 1819) were bathed in solutions of HgCl2 and CH3HgCl. Methylmercury compounds were detected in muscles, liver, and kidneys of those individuals exposed to HgCl2, which indicates mercury methylation to have taken place in tissues of the fishes studied.;
