PCB, DDT, and benzo(a)pyrene in raw and pan-fried white croaker (Genyonemus lineatus) [California]

A major survey of southern California sportfishermen was conducted in 1978 by the California Department of Fish and Game (Wine 1979). Wine found that over one-million angler trip hours per year were expended on fishing and one in three fish caught was white croaker (Genyonemus lineatus ). A major po...

Description
Summary:A major survey of southern California sportfishermen was conducted in 1978 by the California Department of Fish and Game (Wine 1979). Wine found that over one-million angler trip hours per year were expended on fishing and one in three fish caught was white croaker (Genyonemus lineatus ). A major portion of those fish was caught in waters of Santa Monica Bay where there has been considerable concern regarding the water quality and pollution. This paper examines the bioaccumulation of PCB, DDT and benzo(a)pyrene by this fish.
