Abstract

Samples of pilchards from along the south coast of Western Australia obtained by the Department of Fisheries with the assistance of industry and the Albany Port Authority have established that pilchards from King George Sound are no higher in Selenium than pilchards from elsewhere on the south coast of Western Australia, nor are they different from the selenium levels reported for the same pilchard species caught off South Africa. Levels of Se in pilchards are naturally high, but are not as high as in other pelagic tunas caught in the open ocean.
