Table 2. Summary <strong>of</strong> fish vital statistics, moisture content, <strong>and</strong> total concentrations <strong>of</strong> 63 elements measured in whole-body samples<br />

<strong>of</strong> kelp bass, kelp rockfish, <strong>and</strong> Pacific s<strong>and</strong>dab. Except for moisture content, values are geometric means (ranges in parentheses). For<br />

moisture content, values are back-transformed angular means (ranges in parentheses). With three exceptions, all measurements <strong>of</strong><br />

elements are semi-quantitative estimates made by ICP-MS. <strong>The</strong> exceptions are arsenic, mercury, <strong>and</strong> selenium, which were measured<br />

with quantitative techniques.<br />
