Lead concentrations in spotted wolffish (Anarhichas minor) collected from the vicinity of a sphalerite–galena mine and an ore concentration plant in West Greenland have been measured through a period of 2 yr before and 4 yr after mining operations started. Lead levels increased significantly since mining started, and accumulation takes place in liver and kidney, not in muscle tissue. The increased lead levels are not a risk to public health. Small fish have higher lead concentrations than larger ones.
