This official-gazette source publishes Panama Ministerio de Salud Resolucion No. 368, dated 15 May 2009 and promulgated in Gaceta Oficial Digital No. 26307 on 19 June 2009. The resolution adjusts maximum permitted contaminant levels for fishery products and establishes laboratory-control requirements for fish, fish subproducts, and other products derived from fishing and aquaculture.
The routeable heavy-metal rows are in Article Sixth under “Metales.” The table sets maximum contents in mg/kg or ppm for cadmium, lead, and mercury in fish meat, crustaceans, bivalve molluscs, and cephalopods. The mercury heading does not specify methylmercury, so HMI records those rows as tHg.
Values are recorded in data/evidence/regulatory_limits.csv in ug/kg, converted from the source’s mg/kg maximum contents by multiplying by 1000. The source table does not state a wet-weight or dry-weight qualifier, so the structured rows preserve the legal basis as product placed on the market and note the missing wet/dry qualifier.
