NOTES: Summary statistics provided in or derived from references; when reference did not compute mean, it was computed using one-half the detection limit for non-detects if congener-specific detection limits were given; when detection limits were not given, zero was used for nondetects. NA = Not available. NR = Not reported. ND = Non-detect. Detection limits varied by study and were different for different compounds, but generally were 1 to 5 ng/kg (ppt). Descriptions provided were those given by reference or surmised from study description when not given.

NOTES:
Summary statistics provided in or derived from references; when reference did not compute mean, it was computed using one-half the detection limit for non-detects; NA = not applicable; ND = non-detected (limit of detection); NR = not reported; Descriptions provided were those given by reference or surmised from study description when not given; One half the detection limit was used in calculating means. Therefore, it is possible to have mean concentrations greater than the range (e.g., reported detection limit for nondetects greater than the positive sample).

a Br. = Brown; Smk. = Smoked; Str. = Striped; Lg. M. = Large Mouth; Rb. = Rainbow; P. = Pole; Y. = Yellow. b Various, Netherlands = samples taken from six locations around IJsselmeer Lake; Various, Sweden = samples taken from Grenlandsfjord and Frierfjord; Various US = samples taken from 314 sites across the US,
including industrial and background sites. c Species were taken from both bottom feeders and open water feeders, and then composited. d Whole fish samples and fillet samples were combined during analysis.
NOTES: Summary statistics provided in or derived from references; when reference did not compute mean, it was computed using one-half the detection limit for non-detects; NA = not applicable; ND = non-detected (limit of detection); NR = not reported; Descriptions provided were those given by reference or surmised from study description when not given; One half the detection limit was used in calculating means. Therefore, it is possible to have mean concentrations greater than the range (e.g., reported detection limit for non detects greater than the positive sample).

Footnote references
a Samples were obtained from grocery stores unless stated otherwise. Milk samples were obtained from dairies or transport trucks. No cooked samples from the references were used. b For ND values 1/2 LOD was used in calculating the mean. Therefore, it is possible to have mean concentrations greater than the range (e.g., reported detection limit for nondetects
greater than the positive sample). c For ND values the detection limit was used in calculating the mean. d Value in reference was reported as total 2,3,7,8-TCDD toxic equivalents.
NR = not reported NA = not applicable

Footnote references
a Samples were obtained from grocery stores unless stated otherwise. Milk samples were obtained from dairies or transport trucks. No cooked samples from the references were used. b For ND values 1/2 LOD was used in calculating the mean. Therefore, it is possible to have mean concentrations greater than the range (e.g., reported detection limit for nondetects
greater than the positive sample). c For ND values the detection limit was used in calculating the mean.
NR = not reported. NA = not applicable.
