- Title
Males Exceeding Females in Whole‐Fish Polychlorinated Biphenyl Concentration Mainly Attributable to Higher Energy Expenditure Rate.
- Authors
Madenjian, Charles P.
- Abstract
Compelling evidence has indicated that males exceeding females in whole-fish polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentration is not attributable to females undergoing a drastic decrease in their PCB concentrations as a result of the shedding of eggs at spawning (Madenjian et al. [4]). An increase in whole-fish PCB concentration of adult females immediately after spawning due to egg release could not possibly account for adult males exceeding adult females in whole-fish PCB concentration. I adjusted the ratio of whole-fish PCB concentration in males to whole-fish PCB concentration in females to account for the growth dilution effect in the 8 species of fish examined by Madenjian et al. ([4]).
