Seals As Sentinels For the Gulf of Maine Ecosystem

Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina concolor) are widely distributed in the temperate coastal waters of the Gulf of Maine and are useful sentinels of food chain contamination because they occupy a high trophic level, are long-lived, and tissue samples can be obtained with relative ease. Elevated tissue bur...
