Among PFC fish contaminants, PFOS is the most crucial and prominent compound. Reports suggest no considerable differences in PFC concentrations among freshwater and marine fish species. PFOA is the second most frequently detected PFCs in fish, but it has been shown that PFOA is detected at much lower concentrations than is PFOS. Quantifiable concentrations of PFOA were detected in lake trout [125, 126], rainbow smelt, and alewife, with concentrations ranging from 0.16 to 6.8 ng/g wet weight (wwt). The difference between the observed PFOS and PFOA concentrations in fish suggests a lower potential of PFOA to bioaccumulate in fish as compared to PFOS. This observation was further confirmed by laboratory... 

Glassmeyer et al. [49,132] found that toxaphene concentrations in lake trout and rainbow smelt were ranked Lake Superior > Michigan > Huron > Ontario in samples collected in 1992. Whittle et al. [81] and Swackhamer [133] also found highest toxaphene concentrations in Lake Superior lake trout and lowest concentrations in lake trout from Lake Erie collected in 1998 and 1999-2000, respectively. Whittle et al. [81] used GC-ECD for quantifying toxaphene and selected chlorobornanes while Glassmeyer et al. [49,132] and Swack-... 

Glassmeyer et al. [49,132] found that toxaphene concentrations in lake trout and rainbow smelt declined significantly (p < 0.05) in all lakes except Lake Superior. Results from their study, which compared samples from western Lake Superior between 1977 and 1992, are combined with data from Swack-hamer [133] and Muir et al. [74] in Fig. 12 to give a 24-year perspective on temporal trends of total toxaphene. No decline in toxaphene concentrations is evident over this time period. This agrees with water concentrations, which were estimated to be 1200 ng/L in 1977, based on concentrations in lake trout [49], and measured at 1120 ng/L in 1996 and 720 ng/L in 2002 (Table 9), representing a decline of 1-2% per year.
