2005 Summary:
The Northern Contaminants Program (NCP) calls for monitoring of contaminant trends. Lake trout are the fish most commonly consumed and harvested. Studies are showing that contaminants such as PCBs and DDT are declining in lake trout in Great Slave Lake. Burbot liver will also be examined as part of this study because contaminant levels can be high in this organ, and contaminant levels are not decl...
