Effects of parental and dietary PCBs on survival, growth, and body burdens of larval striped bass

Experiments were carried out to determine the relative effects of parental and dietary sources of polychlorinated biphenyls on larvae of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) during the first month of life; the results are tabulated and discussed. There was no evidence that PCB from either source, at the...

Description
Summary:Experiments were carried out to determine the relative effects of parental and dietary sources of polychlorinated biphenyls on larvae of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) during the first month of life; the results are tabulated and discussed. There was no evidence that PCB from either source, at the concentrations used, had any effect on survival and growth after yolk absorption.
