Abstract
This study was carried out to estimate the levels of total, organic, inorganic-Hg, total Se and the interaction between both elements in the muscle and other body organs of bouri (Mugil cephalus). The results showed that strong closeness of correlation between length of fish and each of. (a) total, inorganic, organic Hg, and total Se in muscle, (b) total and organic Hg in backbone, (c) total and inorganic Hg in viscera.
