TLDR
In this article, the spatial and temporal patterns of organochlorine contamination in lake trout from Wisconsin waters of the Great Lakes, examined laboratory contaminant analysis data of muscle tissue samples from Lake Michigan and Lake Superior (n = 317) fish.About:

Serum Concentrations of Various Environmental Contaminants and Their Relationship to Sex Steroid Concentrations and Phallus Size in Juvenile American Alligators
TL;DR: It is suggested that the observations previously reported for juvenile alligators are apparently not associated with the current serum levels of the environmental contaminants, but could be due to exposures during embryonic development to these or other pollutants.

Ontogenic and Spatial Patterns in Diet and Growth of Lake Trout in Lake Michigan
TL;DR: A comparison of the diets indicated that juvenile lake trout on Sheboygan Reef experienced slow growth due to low food availability rather than to cold water temperatures, and the availability of appropriate-size prey appeared to regulate lake trout growth.

Contaminant Trends in Lake Trout and Walleye From the Laurentian Great Lakes
TL;DR: For example, in this article, the authors examined trends in PCB, DDT, dieldrin, and oxychlordane concentrations in Lake Michigan lake trout and Lake Erie walleye using composite samples of whole fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal Transfer of Organochlorine Compounds in Salmonines to Their Eggs
TL;DR: To investigate relationships between the concentrations of lipophilic organochlorine compounds in salmonine fish and their eggs and the role of lipids in maternal transfer of these compounds, muscle tissue and fertilized eggs from chinook salmon and lake trout were analyzed using gas chromatography.

Model of PCB in the Lake Michigan lake trout food chain
TL;DR: An age-dependent food chain model that considers species bioenergetics and toxicant exposure through water and food is developed and indicates that for the top predator lake trout, PCB exposure through the food chain can account for greater than 99% of the observed concentration.

Estimation of Distributional Parameters for Censored Trace Level Water Quality Data: 1. Estimation Techniques
TL;DR: In this article, the most robust method for minimizing error in censored-sample estimates of the four distributional parameters over all simulation conditions was the log-probability regression method, where censored observations are assumed to follow the zero-to-censoring level portion of a lognormal distribution obtained by a least squares regression between logarithms of uncensored concentration observations and their z scores.
