aNaphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, and benz[a]anthracene were not found in any of the 14 bluefish composites.
bAcenaphthene was not found in any of the 14 summer flounder composites.
cNaphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, and acenaphthene were not found in any of the 14 black sea bass composites.
dNaphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, and acenaphthene were not found in any of the 14 tautog composites.
eMeans are designated "nd" when all values are <MDL, and designated "<MDL" when at least one value was above the MDL but the mean (calculated using a value of ½MDL for individual nondetectable values) was <MDL.
fMean of triplicates.
gPAHs were not analyzed for this muscle composite.
hNo station mean was >3 x MDL; therefore, interstation differences were not calculated.
