"During 1993-97, Canadian Wildlife Service (Ontario Region) collected 1252 eggs from 32 sites. Four species of fish-eating colonial waterbirds were sampled:Double-crested Connorant (Phalacrocorax auritus); Great Black-backed Gull (Larus marinus); Herring Gull (Larus argentatus); Ring-billed Gull (Larus delawarensis). The purpose was to measure the levels of the following compounds: organochlorine pesticides; chlorinated benzenes; polychlorinated biphenyls; dioxins and furans; lipid and moisture. ... The data from 1993-97 are summarized in two volumes. Volume I [see CW69-5/321E-PDF] contains contaminant data for all (4) species summarized by location, and non-coplanar PCB data for Herring Gull eggs from 14 annual monitoring colonies.
