PESTAB. Studies were conducted in which the levels of various pesticides in salmon eggs were determined for several years. The level of PCBs was lower in 1975 (3.6 mug/g lipid) and 1976 (1.8-6.48 mug/kg) than in 1971 (13.7 mug). DDE levels were 0.36 mug in 1975 and 0.16 - 0.48 mug/g in 1976, compared with 2.09 mug/g in 1971. DDT and DDD (TDE) remained constant (about 0.4 mug/g). There was no apparent correlation between levels of organochlorine compounds and hatchabilities of the salmon stocks studied.
