Description
The file Suchanek-Fish-Supplement.txt contains total mercury and methylmercury concentrations for 16 species of fishes from Clear Lake, California, USA, during the years 1976–2004. The following numbers (found as superscripts associated with various entries within the Supplement) help define specific information about the samples: (1) Length extrapolated from weight using the formula: L[mm] = e(3.04)·wet wt(0.40[g]), (2) Channel catfish collected from fisherman participating in year 2000 catfish derby, (3) Wet wt for 1992 inland silversides was derived from length using the exponential curve fit formula: wet wt[g] = 0.049·e(0.054 length[mm]), (4) Analyzed as body less head, skin, and viscera, (5) Wet wt Hg was extrapolated from dry wt Hg using the average percentage moisture of 77.8%. Abbreviations are defined as: CDFG = California Department of Fish and Game database; TSMP = California Environmental Protection Agency's Toxic Substances Monitoring Program database. Included in the bottom row of several data columns is a COLUMN SUM value (cumulative sum of values for each data column) to assist in QA/QC of downloaded data.
