Trunk muscle, ventral muscle, visceral fat and liver from cultured
rainbow trout (Salmo gairdner) were analysed for PCB congeners. The
congeners quantified were components 52, 49, 44, 101, 118, 138, 187,
183, 128, 180, 170, and 194. The concentrations of the individual PCB
congeners and the sum of the quantified congeners (sum PCB) are
given.
No statistical differences were found between the sum PCB
concentrations on a lipid basis in the trunk muscle, ventral muscle and
visceral fat. The concentrations found ranged from 0.24 0.45 mg/kg. The
concentrations measured in the liver were significantly lower than the
concentrations in the other tissues, with concentrations from 0.16 to
0.29 mg/kg. On a wet weight basis there were no significant differences
between the concentrations in the ventral muscle and the visceral fat
which had values from 0.17 to 0.35 mg/kg. In the trunk muscle values
from 0.01 to 0.03 mg/kg were found and in the liver values from 0.01
to 0.02mg/kg. The concentrations of the individual PCB congeners and
the sum PCB concentrations were low in all the tissues analysed.
