The use of biopsy plugs to sample fish muscle tissue for mercury analyses is a viable alternative to lethal sampling; however, the practice has yet to be widely implemented in routine monitoring due to concerns about variability of mercury concentrations in fish muscle tissues. Here we examine distribution of mercury in fillets of four fish species(Walleye, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass and Lake Trout), suitability of left/right side of fillet for biopsy sampling, and appropriateness of re-using a biopsy punch. The results showed that average mercury concentrations in left and right fillets of fish are *** concentrations in biopsy plug samples, taken from the anterior dorsal area of the fish fillet, were statistically equivalent to the mercury concentrations in homogenized fillets. There was no discernible cross contamination between samples when a biopsy punch was reused after washing in hot soapy water, and as such, biopsy punches can be recycled during sampling to reduce the sampling cost. If a tissue mass collected from a specific site on the fillet is insufficient, then we suggest sampling corresponding locations on the other fillet rather than sampling two adjacent sites on one fillet to obtain more tissue. The results presented here can improve the accuracy of fillet biopsy plug sampling,minimize fish mortality for mercury monitoring, and reduce labor and material costs in monitoring programs.

Estimating the time evolution of a local scour hole downstream of submerged weirs can help determine the maximum scour depth and length and is essential to designing submerged weir *** the current study, artificial neural networks with a backpropagation learning algorithm were used to estimate the temporal variation of scour profiles downstream of submerged weirs under clear water conditions. Physical factors, such as the flow condition, weir size, and sediment characteristics, are general scour considerations. Two sets of data combinations, namely original and non-dimensional data, were utilized in developing the backpropagation network(BPN) model. Using the data combinations and a trial-and-error method, the appropriate number of hidden neurons in the model architecture was determined. The results indicated that using non-dimensional variables as inputs in estimating the time evolution of scour holes downstream of a submerged weir is more suitable for the BPN model. Comparisons of the prediction results of the BPN model and an empirical regression formula revealed that the BPN model was more accurate and more direct in predicting the temporal variation of the local scour hole profile. In addition, sensitivity analysis showed that the dimensionless time exerted the most significant impact on the time evolution of the non-dimensional scour hole profile.
