"Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. Large pelagic fish (>250 g) live in waters near the surface or throughout the water column (e.g., tuna, marlin, pelagic sharks). The phrase "expressed_as" is used in the construction "A_expressed_as_B", where B is a chemical constituent of A. It means that the quantity indicated by the standard name is calculated solely with respect to the B contained in A, neglecting all other chemical constituents of A.
