Mercury in canned tuna: white versus light and temporal variation.
Burger J, Gochfeld M. Burger J, et al. Environ Res. 2004 Nov;96(3):239-49. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2003.12.001. Environ Res. 2004. PMID: 15364590
We found that white-style tuna had significantly more total mercury (mean 0.407 ppm) than light-style tuna (mean 0.118 ppm), presumably reflecting that "white" tuna is albacore, a species relatively larger than the skipjack tuna, which is …

Total mercury in canned tuna sold in Canada in 2006.
Dabeka RW, Mckenzie AD, Forsyth DS. Dabeka RW, et al. Food Addit Contam Part B Surveill. 2014;7(2):110-4. doi: 10.1080/19393210.2013.856036. Epub 2014 Jan 3. Food Addit Contam Part B Surveill. 2014. PMID: 24914595
Total mercury was measured in 156 composites prepared from 936 samples of canned tuna sold in Canada in 2006. ...The highest average concentration was found in the Albacore tuna: mean 0.325 mg/kg, range 0.174-0.507 mg/kg. The second highest conc …

Chemical form and distribution of mercury and selenium in canned tuna.
Cappon CJ, Smith JC. Cappon CJ, et al. J Appl Toxicol. 1982 Aug;2(4):181-9. doi: 10.1002/jat.2550020403. J Appl Toxicol. 1982. PMID: 7185899
The content, chemical form and distribution of mercury and selenium were determined for several samples of canned tuna. Samples represented albacore, bluefin, skipjack and yellowfin species, and were packed in either water or vegetable oil. ...Although …

New Insight into Mercury Removal from Fish Meat Using a Single-Component Solution Containing cysteine.
Strachowski P, Mandava G, Lundqvist J, Bordes R, Abdollahi M. Strachowski P, et al. Glob Chall. 2024 Oct 2;8(11):2400161. doi: 10.1002/gch2.202400161. eCollection 2024 Nov. Glob Chall. 2024. PMID: 39545252 Free PMC article.
The mercury removal efficiency depends on the cysteine concentration and its ratio to fish muscle. Using 1.2 wt% cysteine enables a reduction of mercury in canned Albacore tuna by 25-35%, depending on the fish product type and the exposure time …

[Niveles de mercurio en pescado en la Comunitat Valenciana: evolución temporal (2011-2017) y factores asociados.].
Blanco C, Ballester F, Báguena R, Marín S, LLop S, López-González U, Riutort-Mayol G, Soler-Blasco R. Blanco C, et al. Rev Esp Salud Publica. 2023 Sep 8;97:e202309073. Rev Esp Salud Publica. 2023. PMID: 37921401 Free PMC article. Spanish.
OBJECTIVE: Mercury (Hg) is a toxic metal, and dietary exposure is the main one in humans, especially fish consumption. ...RESULTS: The median was 0.20 mg/kg for THg and 0.14 mg/kg for MeHg. Swordfish, fresh tuna/albacore and canned tuna, in that …

Variability of Mercury Concentrations Across Species, Brand, and Tissue Type in Processed Commercial Seafood Products.
Rock KD, Bhoothapuri S, Lassiter E, Segedie L, Belcher SM. Rock KD, et al. Toxics. 2025 May 23;13(6):426. doi: 10.3390/toxics13060426. Toxics. 2025. PMID: 40559900 Free PMC article.
Products were grouped into three categories based on trophic ecology and physiology: (1) tuna, (2) other bony fish, and (3) shellfish and squid. Among tuna, albacore had the highest average tHg (396.4 ng/g 172.1), while yellowfin had the lowest (68.3 ng/g …

Ranking the contributions of commercial fish and shellfish varieties to mercury exposure in the United States: implications for risk communication.
Groth E 3rd. Groth E 3rd. Environ Res. 2010 Apr;110(3):226-36. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2009.12.006. Epub 2010 Feb 8. Environ Res. 2010. PMID: 20116785
Except for swordfish, most fish with the highest mercury levels are relatively minor contributors to total inputs. Tuna (canned light, canned albacore and fresh/frozen varieties) accounts for 37.4 percent of total mercury inputs, while tw …

Survey of total mercury in some edible fish and shellfish species collected in Canada in 2002.
Dabeka R, McKenzie AD, Forsyth DS, Conacher HB. Dabeka R, et al. Food Addit Contam. 2004 May;21(5):434-40. doi: 10.1080/02652030410001670184. Food Addit Contam. 2004. PMID: 15204544
Levels of mercury in the fresh and frozen tuna contained a mean of 0.93 microg g(-1) (range 0.077-2.12 microg g(-1)) and were substantially higher than in the canned tuna (0.15, 0.02-0.59 microg g(-1)). In the canned tuna, mercury …
