Abstract
from the abstract, "This report contains a review of currently available information on the distribution patterns and behavior of PCB's in sediments, water and biota in Long Island Sound, paying particular attention to the striped bass (Moron-saxatilis). PCB's in sediments are widespread in harbors and rivers along the north shore with concentrations up to 810 ppb, which is towards the lower range of polluted aquatic areas. . ."
