HAPAB Eggs of black ducks (Anas rubripes), double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) and herring gulls (Larus argentatus) from The Wolves, Bay of Fundy and Passamaquoddy Bay, New Brunswick contained high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and p,p'-DDE relative to literature values for eggs from other locations. The highest average concentration of PCB, which was quantified using five of the six major peaks of Aroclor 1254, was 43.5 mug/g in cormorant eggs. Differences in feeding habits are probably responsible for lower levels of PCB in gulls and ducks. Levels of p,p'-DDE ranged from 1.50 to 29.4 mug/g. 1972
