摘要
Data are presented on trace metal and organic hydrocarbon (PCBs, PAHs, and chlorinated pesticides) concentrations in muscle, liver, gonad, and other tissues from two small 1981-1982 collections of tilefish (Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps): from near Lydonia Canyon (on Georges Bank) and below Hudson Canyon (off New Jersey). Significant concentrations of trace metals and chlorinated hydrocarbons (PCBs and pesticides) were detected in the tissues, but these were generally within the ranges reported for other deep-sea and continental shelf fish in the Middle Atlantic Bight. Higher chlorinated hydrocarbon concentrations were detected in fish from the Lydonia Canyon area, compared with concentrations detected in the fish from below the Hudson Canyon. The difference appears to be statistically significant for most compounds and no satisfactory explanation can be suggested. © 1990.
