    Dear List

    I am currently doing a HACCP Plan for our land based Meal Plant which produces fish meal, fish oil and fish solubles from a variety of fish species. I am hoping someone can help me with some information about mercury.

    I know that potentially mercury could pose a food safety hazard for animal health as mercury is retained in the animals body and does not pass through their system. Due to the removal of water during processing would average mercury levels be increased in the fish meal, fish oil and fish solubles?

    Tnaks for your help.

    Regards

    Stella Stacey
