The integration of fatty acid biomarkers of trophic ecology with pollutant body-burdens of PAHs and PCBs in four species of fish from Sabine Lake, Texas

This study investigated whether the composition of fatty acids in hepatic tissue of four fish species from Sabine Lake (TX), influenced hepatic body-burdens of pollutants. The multivariate correlations between hepatic bodyburdens of sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and twenty-nine polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), with thirty-seven fatty acids was studied.
