Little auk

SCCP has so far been found in arctic whales, seals, walruses [51] and two species of Arctic birds (Little auk, Alle alle and Kittiwake, Rissa tridactyla) [52]. Thus, SCCPs have been measured in animal species living in remote areas . The following also shows that these concentrations are similar to concentrations of well-recognised POPs such as PCB, DDT and toxaphene [53]. More detailed comparisons of POP concentrations for the arctic marine mammals and for the bird Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) are presented in Table 17 and Table 18, respectively.
