Table 3. Mean concentrations (ng/g[ppb] wet weight) of total PCBs, total "Aroclor-based" PCBs (18 PCBs x 2), total chlordanes, total DDTs, acenaphthene, and benz[a]anthracene; mean concentrations (pg/g [pptr] wet weight) of 2,3,7,8-TCDD, 2,3,7,8-TCDF, and 2,3,7,8-TCDD toxic equivalents; and percent lipids and water in muscle of bluefish, summer flounder, black sea bass, and tautog from the New York Bight Apex
