Polychlorinated biphenyl residues: accumulation in Cayuga Lake trout with age.

The concentration of polychlorinated biphenyls was shown to progressively increase with maturity in a series of lake trout. The presence of these compounds was determined by column chromatographic isolation, specific detector gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The relation between fish age and the concentration of polychlorinated biphenyls was highly significant.

Eggshell thinning in Japanese quail fed mercuric chloride.

The eggs produced by developing Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) fed 1 to 8 parts of mercury per million as mercuric chloride for 10 weeks have thinned shells. Total amounts of mercury in tissues were quite proportional to the dosage and were higher in males than in females. Methylation of mercury was not observed.
