In New York State we have winter flounder and summer flounder (aka fluke). The diet of the fish vary as do the sizes. Fluke are more predatory, have larger mouths with bigger teeth. I would suspect that the summer flounder ( fluke ) would have the higher mercury levels in the flesh due to their larger size and varied food sources, they even eat their own, which I can personally attest to. They also eat baby bluefish (snappers) as well as spearing, killies, sand eels, clams and squid. Frankly I think they will eat almost anything they can get their teeth into. Summer flounder eat small mussels and worms, mostly. I have never seen any published levels of mercury in either fish, but would be real interested in seeing some testing results. These fish are not big migratory and pretty much stay in local waters. It would be interesting to see Eastern seaboard levels , State by State. As a long time sports fisherman and a amateur scientist I believe fluke would have the highest level of mercury General rule with fish and contaminants "The higher the predatory species of fish the higher the contaminant level". This is sad but true.
Mercury levels in flounder can vary, but in general, they are considered a low-mercury fish. Flounder are typically safe to eat in moderation, but it is recommended to check local advisories and guidelines to ensure that the mercury levels are within safe limits.
Yes, there are waters found on Mercury.
Mercury is most often found in thermometers.
Mercury is a naturally occurring element that is found in various mineral deposits around the world. It is often found in cinnabar ore, which is the most common source of mercury. Cinnabar is typically found in areas with volcanic activity or hot springs.
Yes, mercury (Hg) can be found on the planet Mercury. The element mercury was named after the planet due to its fluid-like properties and reflective appearance, similar to the planet's silvery color.
Yes, flounder are considered primary consumers because they primarily feed on smaller organisms such as crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish. They occupy a mid-level position in the food chain, feeding on producers and being preyed upon by larger predators.
Flounder is normally found in the bottom of the coastal lagoons of the Northern Atlantic Ocean. They are also found in the Pacific Ocean, in estuaries.
Flounder are saltwater fish that live in lagoons and estuaries. Flounder species are found along the Atlantic coasts of the US and Canada, in Europe, and in Japan.
fish, flounder
Flounder who is voiced by Jason Marin .
It depends, Tuna is salt water, Trout is fresh, halibut is salt, flounder is salt.
Mercury has 2 electrons in its outer level, which is the 6th and final energy level for mercury.
If you mean flounder, no. They are salt water species.
level of mercury fall down
In Europe, the name flounder refers to Platichthys flesus. In the Western Atlantic there are the summer flounder Paralichthys dentatus, southern flounder Paralichthys lethostigma, and the winter flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus In Japan, the Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus is common.
