PCBVs are a class of aromatic, chemically inert, nonflam
mable chlorinate^ hydrocarbons. They por.--ss high bi'-lectric cpr.stants, low^oitlts^Df volatility, are not hydrolired by
water, and resists" alkalies, acids and other corm-ive chemical
(Feakall, lc~0), Their boiling points range from
for
Aroclor -1221 to 415C for A-'Oclor 1263. All IC3*s -re stable at l^O^C. Tho lower chi or' naled cor rounds are nor'' soluble in
water than the more highly chlorinated or.es and arc rrpfcr-

found that the chlorinated hydrocarbon concentration in sediment is closely related to both organic content and particle size* It has a great affinity for particles or less which is In the silt-clay range. Experimental evidence shows that the total organic carbon as well as humic
sediment bears a linear relation ship to the chlorinated hydrocarbon concentration and the amount of organic material in 3urficial sediments is directly proportional to the clay size fraction. Pine silts and clays are closely associated with hunic substances) they exist as orranoclay complexes and have a high adsorbtive capacity for PCB's. There is some environmental verification for the above experimental findings. PCB's were found associated with the top 2-3 cm In Escambia Bay, Florida (Duke, 1??0) FCB's were also concentrated in the to? 2-3 cm, but occurred commonly at 6~12 cm in the sediment of southern Lake Michigan and the highest concentrations were found associated with small particles (2un) and high organic content(ieland,197?)
Cnee FC3*s have adsorbed to sediments, there is little leaching (Haque,19?6). PC3's are probably transported on the suspended solids. Due to it's low solubility, the transport of soluble ?C3 is probably negligible. Due to these properties, high concentrations of FC3*s are usually found near points of discharge. Therehas been, however, little environmental docu mentation of the movement of PCB's through a system from a

The short term exposure of invertebrates to Arcelor 125k resulted in the hicaccumulation of 160 to 6,300 times
the ambient water concentrations ( Walker, 1976), This factor is even greater after long tern exposure, Cysters exposed to fjpb Aroclor 125^ for weeks accumulated 425/ippn

iments also accumulated FCD's, however/-2'their accumulation
appeared to reach a plateau which was. not demonstrated in the
lab (Nimmc,l?7l), Field data from Sacantla Bay showing that
burrowing shrimp contain higher residue levels than non
burrowing ones, and samples collected from the Milwaukee River
and other areas where organisms collected from stations
'
high residue levels in the sediment had higher ^concentrations
than those found ir. other areas, confirm that sediment plays
a large role in mediating PCB*s. The accumulation of PC?,'s
from the sediments may be due either to contact and absorp

HONS 050319
After uptake, PCB's are stored in the lipid. This fact
introduces many variables. The effect of lipids on the con
centration of PCB's found in fish may be the cause of the varia
tion seen in concentrations with other factors such as weight
and season within species, and the variation of residue levels
between species. It has been suggested that PCE concentration
increases with size, age or weight. Eache et
(lQ?2) found
that FCB concentration correlated significantly to age, length
and weight of trout from Cayuga lake. FC2 concentrations were A
noted to be more variable among older fish than younger, Sy
contrast,
found that PCB's in the muscle of squid
(Loliro forresi) tended-to decrease in concentration with in
creased body weight. Clson et al (1973) reported no correla
tion of PC2 levels in muscle of Ssox luclus to ae or weight e.
using either wet or lipid weight basis. Thar^are, there
fore, no /fenerallzations which can be made on this weirht-
ppm subject. However, from these contradictory results,
it is clear that the lipid - weight theory, based on
MQKS 050320
the partitioning of PC.' directly from the water, in not
the only contributing factor for increases or decreases in
FCC concentration with weight#
The possibility of uptake rates being different In
teleosts of different ages or sizes, but of the same species^
may also be a contributing factor to the variability of
residues of fish. Lafystudies have shown that the uptake of 1U
C DDT was much faster by smaller fish than larger# This up
take rate difference may be related to their different meta-
bollc ntM*
&X.J ^ /iAfUy", if*S)
FC3's have not only been shown to vary with size and species of fish, jfcome have also found that there .are seasonal
(\........... 'i differences in PC3 concentration. This nay be due to a dif ference in the lipid metabolism of fish of different size with season, or a shift in lipid content due to spawning or environmental stress.
The differences in PCD content lr. fish in the environ ment are probably related to all of the above factors* and thus they must be sorted out to determine which are the major factors In PCS accumulation.

tamination of a river-reservoir system with distance from a point source of contamination as reflected by the residue levels In fishi determine the half-lifetof PC3 in this

^. terminjinc the major route of entry to fish; and to the sample chromatograms to determine whether there are great metabolic differences between the fish that may account for species differences in PCB concentration*

cal applications-^^ the data and the statistical significance
of many of the results* ,
In the laboratory /'the fall and winter samples were hexane
extracted 2 times and the sprirtc and summer samples were ex-
traded 3 times (see methods). It was thought that the % re

most cases. The lowest percent recoveries were samples of ST* *./'*i :>
Lepomis)and those fish of very low PC3 content. There.is no consistent recovnry level, either as related to station,
species or size of the sample and,therefore, no correction factor for lack of recovery has been used in the data. The differences in recovery between the seasons do not arpear to affect the relationship within or between species, stations or seasons. For example, in many cases those fish collected
HONS 050323
in the fall and winter have the highest residue levels and the accumulation by each species relative to the others is consistent throughout the year^i.e. Lepomis generally ac
cumulates FCB to lower levels than other fish in all seasons. It must, however* be kept in mind when comparing FCB con centrations on a seasonal basis^that the fall and winter levels may be slightly low.
Reduction of DDE suspected peak i Sample HZ*}*) a sample of Lepomis megalotis from station li spring collection (Figure 1). shows great height in a peak which may be DDE or some other substance aside from FCB.4 This large peak occurs almost ex clusively at ^tdtion 1, a control station next to an agri
cultural and cattle field. *fter analyzing nan;; sample? from
other stations and comparing them to the standards, it was
found that the PCI peak (98-104) which ic overlapped by DDE
usually constitutes from 20-30# of the Aroclor 125^ measur
ed. Therfore, "td
bias^the station 1 samples,
this peak was reduced to '25# the Aroclor 125^ measured in all samples where it was found to be higher than that. The residual was thought to be DDE* All samples which had this reduction are mark "d in the data sheets presented in Appendix A. An example of the calculations is presenter! in the section on analytical methods*

II. IN-FIELD STUDY OF PCB CONTAMINATION
It has been established that PCB's are very hazardous to
aquatic organisms. Attempts to characterize PCB behavior In
the aquatic systems by comparison of data by different investi
gators, collected at different locations and times of the year
and taken from areas of unconfined, ill-defined contamination
(oceans and lakes) have led to only partial success. The study
of many components of a more well defined area, such
this
segment of stream and reservoir, previously heavily contaminat
ed by PCB from a known point source, should lead to more con
clusive results.
A. Methodologyi
A stream-reservoir system in Anniston, Alabama was chosen
for this study. This site was the location of a major manufac
turer of FCD's which result n high quantities of release in
to the stream. The study area is approximately r0 miles long
including a $1 mile section of Choccolocco Creek and a 30 mile
section of the Coosa River and Logan Martin Lake.(see Figure 2).
The collecting sites were as follows*
Station 1* Choccolocco Creek, Highway 9 bridge crossing (control)
Station 2t Choccolocco Creek, Highway 109 bridge crossing
Station 31 Cheaha Creek, Highway 10 bridge crossing
Station

D, Interpretation of Chromatograms The Webb-McCall method (1973)#
"Quantitative PCB Standards for Electron Capture Gas Chromatography;
A Technique to Quantitate FCB's in Environmental Samples'* was used
to interpret the samples,
The chromatograms of FC3's from environmental samples usual
ly show some evidence of degradation or metabolism, A sample may
contain a single partially degraded Aroclor or a combination
of Aroclors, Such samples can be quantitated by using the standard
HONS 050338
Aroclors (Figures 3.-S) and DDE (Figure
the data tables
(Tables 2-V) and some computational rules. The key principle
is that the total amount of PCB present is the sum of the
amounts from all Individual peaks.
To quantitate FCB's, chromatograph known amounts of the
standards. Measure the area for each peak. Using the Tables
2-Ydetermine the Response Factor (ng FCE/area) for each peak.(Tables 5^)
Chromatograph the sample and measure the area of each peak,
Multiply the area of each peak by the Response Factor for that
peak
Environmental Samples Containing More Than One Aroclon Most
FCB-*contaminated fish, water and sediment sampler, contain residues
of several Aroclors. Usually the sample chromatogram can simply be divided into 3 serrate areas and the peaks in each area
quantitated by using the appropriate Aroclor. Feaks with the
retention times of 11-70 are compared individually to*1 correspond
ing in Aroclor 1242, peaks with retention times of 84-174 are A.
compared to the corresponding peaks in Aroclor 125Zi and peaks
of larger retention time are compared with those peaks in
Aroclor 1260. The peak areas of the samples are multiplied by
the Respose Factors from the peaks of the appropriate standard.
The following calculations were usedi

C. THE RELATIONSHIP OF WET WEIGHT TO PCB CONCENTRATION.
/'t-S**
Figures IT and iy compare the weight-ppm and log weightlog ppm correlations of all species combined at Stations 2
and 4. The statistics for all stations are summarized in Table 1.9* The weight vs ppm plots are significant at 5 stations; 112,4,5 and 6 Four of the 8 stations are signifi cant in the log-log model; 2,4,5 and 6. Therefore, combin ing the results of both methods, ^ of 6 stations show a signif icant correlation between weight and ppm PCB, -Stations 1,2,4,
5 and 6. Station 1 is significant in the weight-ppm model only and stations 7 and 8 are not significant in either*
a The significance levels are not consistently better in either model. The correlation coefficientsjT also are not greatly af fected by either model. Four of the 5 significant correlations show a positive relationship between tcdy weight and PCB con centration (Xtaticns 1,4,5 and 6) while station 2. has a weak
but significant negative correlation.
From this analysis-then,.there appears tc be an Increase of PCB level with weightfwith the exception of Station 2* How
ever the mixture of species causes the correlations to be very
/c
weak and in the care of station 2, to be negative.
-
To determine the accumulation trends of each species,
these linear analyses were done on each species at each station

The statistics are summarized in Tables 20 and 2! and Figures l^andJ,Oare plots of 2 of the significant relationships*
Again, there are highly significant correlations between wet
weight and ppm FC3 with both lihear models* Thirteen of 29
cases or
were significant when combining the results of
both models* Six of the 13 were significant in both models,
9 in the log-log model and 10 in the weight-ppm model* Cf the
13 significant cases 9 have a positive correlation and U are
negative* These negative correlations are not specific to any
one station or species. The correlation coefficients are greater when analyzing each species separately than when they
were all analyzed together at each station* The log-log model
gives
t. slightly stronger and mor^highly significant results*
In summary, there is a tendency for FCB to accur.'jlate with
weight and the log-log model is a slightly better description
of the relationship than the weight-ppm model*
To determine whether there are seasonal influences cn
wc this weight--ppm relationship! therefore, the data was^analyz-
ed on the species per station per season basis* The results
are shown in Tables
and Figures 21-23 are plots of
some of the significant cases* This breakdown cf the data re
suited in some very small sample sizes and the? if^ra^ only
those cases with 5 or more points were analyzed* Of b\ anal

cant In both models, 8 In the weight-ppm model and 10 in the log-log model* Ten of the 12 showed a positive relationship between wet weight and ppm FCB and 2 had negative correla tion coefficients* Both of the negative correlations were in different species and stations*
From these analyses we again see that there is a tendency for PGB's to accumulate with vreight* The Increased strength of the correlations In these analyses indicates that season does influence the relationship between wet weight and PC3 concentration*
To determine whether a more complex curvilinear model could better describe the weight-PC3 relationship, multiple regression analyses were done on the fish on a species by station by season basis* Of the 41 analyses, 8 had a signifimultiple R at the weight squared level (Table 24)* All 8 were also highly significant on the log-log model. Therefore, there appears to be no reason to use a more complex model*
In summary, the analysis of data collected on a riverreservoir system in Alabama shows that the log-log linear model best describes the accumulation of PCB by fish* It . generally gives slichtly higher correlation coefficients and greater significance levels than the simple wet weightppm or mCiltiple regression models do* Both the strength of correlation and the significance levels are affected by the

iron concentration at Stations 1 and 5 is ny variable.
Seasonally, the iron concentration increases from fall to
winter, and decreases from winter to summer. Again these <*V
trends cannot be correlated with the flujhUatlons in FC3
levels In any species at any station or season. There is
no correlation of sulfate or conductivity with the seasonal
fluctuations in fish, but again, they follow similar spacial &
trends which do correlate with FCB levels.
In summary, the mean FCE concentration in each species A
at each station flu/juates with the seasons. Those seasonal
changes in each species vary from station to station, and a (fc
comparison of the seasonal filiations of all species at the
same station show that leroinis and Klcropterus have similar
trends atj^tations 2 and 4, and Ganbus {a and Notrcnis have
a similar trend at Static 2,(Figures 24-25)* The seasonal et
fluctuations of PCB concentrations do not appear to be direct
ly related to seasonal changes in dissolved oxygen, carbon

by fish are chloride, iron, sulfate and

oxygen and tubidity and low carbon dioxide w^ch suggests that there nay be a great amount of algae or phytoplankton present* Dorosoma, a plankton feeder, however, shows hi/:h levels of PC3 in the spring at station 5 (based on one sample) but low levels
summer, there is also no increase in'PCB ln,Lepbnls. which also do some filter feeding, at these same 2 stations* Therefore, although Dorosona accumulate PC3 to a higher level than other fish, it does not appear to be related to either suspended solid organo-clay complexes or phytoplankton. A look at the other trophic relationships gives the following results; At station 1, the order from highest to lowest FC3 level Is tertiary carnivore, detritavore, 1st carnivore and omnivore. In this low contaminated control station, there is a nearly normal food chain'relationship with detritavore being second in importance to tertiary carnivore. At stations Z and ?, those moat highly contaninated stations, a similar relationship exists. However, the detritavore accumulates FCB to the highest level. At station U, Dorosoma accumulates the highest levels and the relationship is herbivore, carnivore, omnivore. As seen above,
Dorosoma however,7probably does not accumulate the major portion of ft-S* t`is PCB from food. Therefore, the food relationship probably does not hold at this station. Station 5, the control station on the Coosa River, shows the same trophic relationship as the other
L ('<> O') stationslon Choccolocco Creek* Stations 6,7 and^B-, however,-are much more variable. At these- stations leronls. the onnivore,
HONS 0504X3
accumulates more FCB, relative to the other species, than they did on Choccolocco Creek* There are no samples of bottom feeders at these stations, so their relationshipto the other species is not know. It is assumed, however, that they would be relatively high.
It appears, then, that bioconcentration is occurring in this system and a trophic relationship is evident with sediment playing a large role in transmitting PCB to fish along with higher food organisms, while suspended solids probably play only a small role. As shown by the high concentrations of Dorosona. there are other factors which influence the accumu lation of FCB by fish.

3* Lipids and spawning as related to ?CB concentration! The Anova Tables (10 and 11) show that there is a sig nificant correlation between season and FC3 concentration in Mlcropterus Dorosoma .and Notropls. but not in Lpt-qt^ st
Gamhusla or Kyoentellum* These correlations nay be due to changes in lipid during spawning seasons* Table 25 includes both the mean FCB concentration of each species and its spawning season* Just prior to spawning, lipid percentage
should be highest and therefore FC3's should also be highest,
if one accepts the lipid-water partition theory ar; the main route of PCD entry to firh. Even though some fish in this study are very snail, the san^ weight fluctions do occur during spawning season (Lov* ,1^1),
Pierouterus spavm in tho spring and summer. Figures lCf
24 and 25 show that the highest FCB concentrations in Micropteruc at Stations 4, 6 and 8 and nearly the hirhest
concentrations at Stations 5 and 7 do occur in the spring
collections.
ffotrcpls spawn in the summer and falland the highest
average residue levels are also found in these seasons (see
Figures 11, 24 and 25),*
'
Doroscna spawn in the spring relating its spawning season with the correlation between season and FCB concentration seen
in Anova Table 11. Lepoml-- spawn from spring to fall (April to October).
Their high residue levels occur over'aH"* seasons. There is no
MOMS 050422
correlation between season and FCB content in Lercnls.
The lack of correlation between season and FCB concentra
tion in Ganbusla and Hvrentellum is probably due to a lack of
samples and therefore, no conclusions can be drawn.
In conclusion, it seems likely that the fluctuations in lipid content due to spawning does affect the FC2 content at least in some species*
The differences in FCB accumulation between species nay
also be due, in part, to species differences in lipid content. Table 26 shows the lipid content of various firh. An seen in
earlier sections, Eorosoma generally accumulate FC"';? to great
er levels than other sfccies.ar.d this accumulation in probably
not food related. Ebrorona*s high 7CD content are rrccably re--
lated'to their relatively high lipid content. Therefore, the
lipid partitioning means of uptake must ce very irvortant in
the PC? accumulation by this species.
The differences in lipid content among the other species is probably not very great and, therefore, their large dif- .
ferences In PC3 content must be related to factors other than
lipid partitioning. (NCTEi I am having difficulty finding the
lipid contents of many of my species. Vhen I an abl* to find the information, Table r will be expanded and the last para graph' above will be clarified.)

ships# >!any papers, hav attempted tc show tha t there is a cor-
relation 'between length, weight or are of f irh and their FCB residue levels (Reinert, 1570: Kelso, 19?^i Bach, lp?"). Bache found that all three parameters were significantly correlated to PCB concentration in treut fron Cayuga Lake* There was, however, considerable variabllit,v arcs.g older firh than younger and In areas of higher ?C ? contamination than in*areas of lesser. In contrast, Clsor 2i H.,(157?) reported no correlation of PCS levels in r.\. scle of pike (?)sox lisclug)to age or weight using either wet cr lipid weight based concentrations.
Eberhardt (1975) has suggested that , if them is a correlation between weight and FCB concentra+icn, a linear model using leg weignt vs log PCE concentre, ticn describes the relationship better than the simple weight vs FCj ccrcer.trntion model# Thus, the influence of fish weight or. ?C3 accurul*ticn was examined at each station in this system using no*h the leg weight vs log ppm FOB and weight vs ppm FCB module. The data were analyzed, first using weight as a ha`is for PC3 ac cumulation regardless of species, followed hy each species at each station and then on a species per seas,cn '*asis.

tion coefficients w^re very low. This surrest* that the lipid-
water partitioning of PCS may be contribute n-- to the PC? con
centration, but that other factors rr.ay also h?ve an influence
on rc*3 uptake. To determine whether differences 1r. species

latlonship than the simple wel^ht-ppm model, ar.d that., in gen
eral, FCD concentration tends to increase with increasing
weight and may be related to both species and season. Fitting
data to a linear model is often difficult due tc a lack of
samples when the data are broken down to the necessary level
of species per station per season, and the small variation
in the size of the fish. Also, the increased FC2 concentra
tion with increased weight theory is based on the assumption
that the lipid percentage increases with fi-h growth. Thin i?
not always true. In wild trout, there was r.o direct correla
tion between body lipid content and si2e (i.ove, l?"7!). This
may account for the lack of any correlation or lack cf sig
nificance in many of the cases*
The ur-e of regression models to determine whether a mer*
complicated relationship between weight and rCU concentration
exists did not improve the overall results.
Cne can conclude from the above that the "Mp'd-water
partitioning of FC3 nay be a route of entry to fJrh, but
that other factors may be influencing this uptake.
As it was ascertained that the weight vs. p*r. FCB re
lationship is variable, ar.d the range of fir-h sizer, is general

The detritavcre Is ranked so highly because the sediment usual
ly contains such high levels of ?C2. This is the general order
of accumulation found in this study.
These relationships, however, may net be due to feeding
habits alor.e. An seen above, Dorosoma accumulator very high
leve1? of FCB. This Is similar to Risebroutrh '* findings (l<-'72)
in which a planktivore had greater FCB residue levels than din
firh occupying higher positions in the trophic pyramid. Since
Fomsoma do not attain most of their residue from either food
or suspended solids and planktivores usually contain high lipid
contents , their hieh accumulation is probably related to their
high lipid cortents(see Table 26).
If accumulation, is strictly lipid based, the fish would
accumulate rC3*s in the following order (from highest tc
lowed):
* Dorosona Ca.mrostona Micropteras
This is also th* approximate order fount !n this study,
however, when more data is available, the relativrrhln will hopefully become more clear.

for thelipid partitioning route of uptake by fish.
It la difficult to determine whether the consistent
relationships of PCB accumulation among fish shown in Table 25
are a result of a food chain or lipid phenomenon,. Since
Dorosora have 12 to 20e,o more lipid than do
terra while
both accumulate similar levels of FCB, and the variation in
lipid content of the other fish CCanpostom included) is
fairly snail (based or. only limited data) while the differences
in PCB accumulation are sometimes very largp, it seers likely
that the lipid content is net the only factor influencing PCS .
accumulation by fish.
Both feed and lipid partitioning my be major routes of
PCB entry to fish. Detrltous feeders and tertiary carnivores
picn up similar levels of F'J3 through thir feed (and r-c~c
11 pi-4 partitioning) ar do fatty firh. (Forr-c-v.) through mainly
parti tier. * n.r It seems likely, then,that fish of sir! lor body
composition would accumulate similar amounts of F13 from the
water by parti tioning, and this accumul a tier. ir enhanced by
that which is accumulated through the food.
