  • dataset_eml_methoddescription: Fish were collected by gill nets, and the lengths were recorded in the field. Whole fish were wrapped in aluminum foil and placed in plastic bags and transported on ice to an office where they were frozen. Fish were kept frozen until processed. Fish filets were prepared in the laboratory on a glass cutting board using a stainless steel knife. A 2-4 inch fillet from each fish was homogenized in a tissue grinder. Chain pickerel and smallmouth bass fillets were analyzed with the skin removed.
