Spatial Contrasts in Hepatic and Biliary PAHs in Tilefish ( Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps ) throughout the Gulf of Mexico, with Comparison to the Northwest Atlantic
A multinational demersal longline survey was conducted on the Gulf of Mexico continental shelf over the years 2015 and 2016 to generate a Gulf-wide baseline of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations in demersal fishes. Tilefish (Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps) were sampled in all region...
