Study aim: "Our study compared two strata: sites with elevated PCBs in sediments due to historic industrial activity, and randomly selected sites. The study addressed five questions: (1) what are the PCB concentrations and spatial patterns in San Francisco Bay forage fish? (2) do forage fish concentrations vary between random sites and industrial sites? (3) do concentrations pose a potential hazard to aquatic biota residing within San Francisco Bay? (4) how do forage fish PCB concentrations correlate with co-located sediment PCB concentrations? and (5) how do congener profile patterns vary among sites?"
