The total Hg (THg) and Cd levels of themuscle tissues of swordfish, Xiphiasgladius caught in three differentareas in the Indian Ocean around SriLanka were determined. THg and Cd levels were <0.07-4.30 mg/kgand <0.006-0.180 mg/kg, (wet weight basis) respectively. Of the analyzed samples, 13.3% fish were over 1 mg/kgfor THg while not any single sampleexceeded 0.30 mg/kg for Cd which is EU, andFDA action limits. The results indicate that the catching locations do notgovern the THg and Cd levels and it showed a weak positive relationship betweenthe length and weight of the fish.
