| Abstract | Skin removal is a generally accepted method to reduce exposure to contaminants through fish consumption. However, inconsistent results from studies on the effectiveness of this method suggest influence of other factors such as characteristics of contaminants and fish species. This study investigated the effects of skin removal on the lipid contents and concentrations of total mercury, -chlordane, hexachlorobenzene, mirex, octachlorosytrene, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD), and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE). Four fish species namely brown trout (Salmo trutta), Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha), coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) sampled from the Credit River, Ontario, Canada were considered. Concentrations of all the lipophilic organic contaminants decreased significantly (median 17-37%) after removing skins from filets of brown trout, Chinook salmon and coho salmon, but not of rainbow trout. In contrast, the concentrations of mercury tended to be either similar or marginally higher after removing skins from filets of all four species; however, the amount of mercury would have likely declined or remained unchanged. Overall, removal of skin before consuming a fish filet is recommended to reduce exposure to contaminants widely found in Ontario fish. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
