AB  - Small cetaceans continue to be exposed to elevated levels of persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs). The goals of this study were to use data from remote biopsy 
      sampling and photographic-identification to compare POP concentrations between 
      small cetacean stocks in the northern Gulf of Mexico. During 2015-2017, 74 remote 
      biopsies were collected in St. Andrew Bay and adjacent coastal waters from two 
      species: common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) (N = 28, female symbol; N = 42, male symbol) 
      and Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis) (N = 2, female symbol; N = 2, male symbol). Common 
      bottlenose dolphin POP concentrations were significantly higher in St. Andrew Bay 
      than coastal waters. Male St. Andrew Bay dolphins had the highest Sigma DDT 
      (dichlorodiphenyl-dichloroethane) levels measured in the southeastern U.S. 
      (67 mug/g, 50-89 mug/g; geometric mean and 95% CI) and showed a significant 
      negative relationship between Sigma DDT and sighting distance from a St. Andrew Bay 
      point source.
