In the literature

Based on the relatively high hepatic levels of chlordanes and dieldrin, these chemicals cannot be disregarded as toxicologically sig- nificant risk factors in either species. However, experimental attempts to induce this lesion in winter flounder by intraperi- toneal injection or dietary exposure to high levels of chlordanes were unsuccessful (28). Metals 1 in sediments as a risk factor in both species is also probably of no toxico- logic significance; it simply is a factor covarying with the PAHs and XPCBs (40). Similarly, metals 2 in liver as a risk factor in croaker is probably not significant consider- ing the low levels detected (<60 ng/g) and its strong correlation with hepatic XPCBs, a more toxicologically plausible risk factor (40).
