The presence of PAH metabolites <br />in the bile from these flannelmouth suckers indicates probable long-term exposure to PAH <br />contamination, and this data should support the ongoing work with SPMD technology to <br />assess total PAH contamination in the San Juan basin. Further studies of PAH-related <br />metabolites in fish bile or tissue should also be accompanied by histopathological <br />examinations and correlated with levels of waterborne and sediment loads of PAHs. <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />i; <br />
