Environmental contaminants in male river otters from Oregon and Washington, USA, 1994–1999

Abstract: This study reports hepatic concentrations and distribution patterns of select metals, organochlorine pesticides (OCs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in 180 male river otters (Lontra canadensis) collected from Oregon and Washington, 1994-1999. Seven regional locations of western Oregon and Washington were delineated based on associations with major population centers, industry or agriculture. Cadmium (Cd) was not found above… Show more

“…Total PCB concentrations ranged from 40 to 860 ng/g, with an arithmetic mean of 340 ng/g. The relative abundance of non-coplanar PCB congeners in New Jersey otters was similar to that reported in studies of Eurasian otters in Europe [35,36] and river otters in the northwestern U.S. [24].…”
