Osmerus mordax) and away from slimy sculpin might result in lower exposure to SCCPs because of the high concentrations in sculpin. In fact, sculpin populations in Lake Ontario have declined since the early 1990s due to reductions in productivity brought on by nutrient abatement by municipalities on the lake and to reductions in Diporeia, an important food of slimy sculpin [65].
