TI  - Contamination status of POPs and BFRs and relationship with parasitic infection 
      in finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) from Seto Inland Sea and Omura 
      Bay, Japan.

AB  - Contamination status of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) in blubber of finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) 
      stranded along the coasts of Seto Inland Sea and Omura Bay in Japan were 
      investigated. Levels of PCBs, DDTs and CHLs were significantly higher than those 
      of HCHs, HCB, PBDEs and HBCDs. Concentrations of PBDEs and HBCDs, as well as 
      organochlorine compounds in males increased with body length (p<0.05). Among 14 
      PBDE congeners analyzed, BDE-47 was the predominant, which is similar to those 
      generally reported in biota. PBDEs, HBCDs and PCBs showed no obvious temporal 
      trend in concentrations during the study period, suggesting continuous 
      environmental release of these chemicals. On the other hand, levels of DDT, CHLs 
      and HCHs have decreased. Concentrations of PCBs in liver trematode infected 
      individuals were significantly higher than those in not infected individuals, 
      implying there could be a relationship between contaminant levels and parasitic 
      infection.
