Abstract
MARINE fishes have been shown to contain arsenic in both the lipid and non-lipid phase1–2. In the first case it is probably in the form of one or more arseno-organic compounds3. Previous work has established that when raw fish is boiled the arsenic is enriched in the water soluble phase (the N-liquor)4.
