Total selenium in fish muscle plugs was determinedby instrumental neutron activation analysis. Total selenium concentrations (range and mean \u00b1 standard deviation) in micrograms per gram dry weight were 6.0 to 10.7, 8.8 \u00b1 1.3 for common carp; 2.9 to 8.7, 5.6 \u00b1 2.4 for Colorado pikemin-now; and 1.4 to 7.3, 3.4 \u00b1 2.7 for razorback sucker. The selenium concentration for one bonytail chub sample was 0.8 micrograms per gram dry weight. Selenium concentrations in muscle plugs from 1 Colorado pikeminnow and 12 common carp exceeded the 8 micrograms per gram dry weight toxicity guideline for selenium in fish muscle tissue.", "description": "iv, 6 p.", "publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "author": [{"@type": "Person", "name": "May, Thomas W. tmay@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Thomas W.", "familyName": "May", "email": "tmay@usgs.gov", "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Columbia Environmental Research Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/columbia-environmental-research-center"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Walther, Michael J. mwalther@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Michael J.", "familyName": "Walther", "email": "mwalther@usgs.gov"}], "funder": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Columbia Environmental Research Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/columbia-environmental-research-center"}], "spatialCoverage": [{"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "country", "name": "United States", "url": "https://geonames.org/6252001"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "Colorado", "url": "https://geonames.org/5417618"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "unknown", "name": "Gunnison River", "url": "https://geonames.org/5424107"}, {"@type": "Place", "geo": [{"@type": "GeoShape", "additionalProperty": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "GeoJSON", "value": {"type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [{"type": "Feature", "properties": {}, "geometry": {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-108.58, 38.51], [-108.58, 39.06], [-107.62, 39.06], [-107.62, 38.51], [-108.58, 38.51]]]}}]}}}, {"@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 38.785, "longitude": -108.1}]}]}
