Hepatic burdens of coplanar PCBs, PCDDs, and PCDFs in juvenile Atlantic tomcod sampled from seven geographically distant sites in the Hudson River (HR) in 1998 and 2000, one site from the Miramichi River (MR) in 1998, and adult tomcod collected in Newark Bay (NB) in 1998.

All concentrations are given in units of TCDD TEQs: for PCBs, sum of TCDD TEQs of four coplanar PCB congeners (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry numbers, 77, 81, 126, and 169); for PCDDs, sum of TCDD TEQs from PCDD congeners; for PCDFs, sum of TCDD TEQs from PCDF congeners; for total TEQs, total TCDD TEQs from PCB, PCDD, and PCDF congeners. These are a subset of the data expressed as wet and dry weight concentrations by Fernandez et al. (2004).
