The total mercury (T-Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in red snow crabs (Chionoecetes japonicus) caught off the coast of Japan were analyzed. The T-Hg concentration ranged from 0.03 to 0.56 mg/kg (mean: 0.21 mg/kg) in the raw muscle, and 0.02 to 0.74 mg/kg (mean: 0.27 mg/kg) in the boiled muscle. The MeHg concentration ranged from 0.04 to 0.54 mg/kg (mean: 0.20 mg/kg) in the raw muscle. The mean ratio of MeHg to T-Hg was 0.88. The crab body weight was found to significantly correlate with the concentrations of T-Hg (r = 0.488) and MeHg (r = 0.490) (p
