Creator:

Ackerman, Luke K.

Abstract:

Many pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are persistent, bio-accumulative, and toxic.

A better understanding of their accumulation in the fish of these ecosystems is important to better predict...
