Abstract This paper describes a simple, rapid modification of a method developed at the Fisheries Research Board of Canada for determining mercury in fish and other food products. Wet digestion and flameless techniques of atomic absorption spectrophotometry are used. Replicate analyses on different days showed good precision and samples spiked with known amounts of mercury showed adequate recovery.

Abstract Methods of digestion of fish samples for mercury determination by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry have been investigated. Digestion in Teflon bombs, Kjeldahl flasks, or borosilicate test tubes gives comparable precisions and mercury recoveries. Because of their cost and effect in limiting productivity, Teflon bombs were considered unnecessary for analysis of fish samples. Experiments with cooked and uncooked fish samples have confirmed that no appreciable loss of mercury occurs during baking 30 min at 170°C.
