This study investigated whether the composition of fatty acids in hepatic tissue of four fish species from Sabine Lake (TX), influenced hepatic body-burdens of pollutants. The multivariate correlations between hepatic body-burdens of sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and twenty-nine po...
