ACCUMULATION OF POLYCHLORINED BIPHENYLS IN FISH COLLECTED FROM ST. SIMONS ESTUARY, BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, USA

摘要：

Contamination profiles of 17 PCB congeners were determined in five fish species collected at eight sites in St. Simons Estuary, Brunswick, Georgia, USA (which is very close to an LCP Superfund Site). Pinfish collected at Turtle River at Buffalo Swamp had the highest PCBs concentration (143 ng/g wet weight ww). Whiting and southern flounder collected at Turtle River at Buffalo Swamp also had higher PCBs concentrations (57 ng/g and 73 ng/g ww, respectively) than the same fish species collected at the other sites (the Mouth of Frederica River, Back River, Mackay River South of Jove Creek, Towers of St Simons, Lower Jekyll Cove, Turtle River at Andrew Island, and Turtle River at Cowpen Creek). The current PCBs concentrations of fish in our study were lower than those reported in previous studies.
