Abstract

Seasonal variations of mercury (Hg) and copper (Cu) in edible and non-edible parts
of prawn, Penaeus monodon were studied in Ganjam coast, Orissa, India.
Relatively higher concentrations of Hg and Cu in the tissues were recorded during

the period. The residual concentration of the elements in the tissue of prawn was
