ABSTRACT
Five species of fishes collected in 1998 from two tributaries of the Housatonic River, Berkshire County, Massachusetts were analyzed for total PCB content. The PCB content was significantly higher in fish in the stations closest to the tributary confluence, although there were no differences between the tributaries. Migration of fish between the mainstream and the tributaries is the most likely explanation for the presence of PCB contamination upstream of the source.
