TI  - Congener Patterns of Persistent Organic Pollutants Establish the Extent of 
      Contaminant Biotransport by Pacific Salmon in the Great Lakes.

AB  - In the Great Lakes, introduced Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) can transport 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) 
      and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), to new environments during their 
      spawning migrations. To explore the nature and extent of POP biotransport by 
      salmon, we compared 58 PCB and 6 PBDE congeners found in spawning salmon directly 
      to those in resident stream fish. We hypothesized that stream fish exposed to 
      salmon spawners would have congener patterns similar to those of salmon, the 
      presumed contaminant source. Using permutational multivariate analysis of 
      variance (PERMANOVA) and nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS), we found that 
      POP congener patterns of Pacific salmon varied among regions in the Great Lakes 
      basin (i.e., Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, or Lake Superior), tissue type (whole 
      fish or eggs), and contaminant type (PCB or PBDE). For stream-resident fish, POP 
      congener pattern was influenced by the presence of salmon, location (i.e., Great 
      Lakes Basin), and species identity (i.e., brook trout [Salvelinus fontinalis] or 
      mottled sculpin [Cottus bairdii]). Similarity in congener patterns indicated that 
      salmon are a source of POPs to brook trout in stream reaches receiving salmon 
      spawners from Lake Michigan and Lake Huron but not from Lake Superior. Congener 
      patterns of mottled sculpin differed from those of brook trout and salmon, 
      suggesting that brook trout and mottled sculpin either use salmon tissue to 
      differing degrees, acquire POPs from different dietary sources, or bioaccumulate 
      or metabolize POPs differently. Overall, our analyses identified the important 
      role of salmon in contaminant biotransport but also demonstrated that the extent 
      of salmon-mediated POP transfer and uptake in Great Lakes tributaries is 
      location- and species-specific.
