	abstract = {Summarises and interprets the analytical results for various organic chlorine contaminants in fish collected from northern Alberta river systems and also compares the observed organochlorine levels with the regulatory limits set by Health Canada. Major organochlorine groups detected were polychlorinated biphenyls, DDT- and chlordane-related compounds, toxaphene, and chlorinated phenolics. Background information is included on the properties, uses, toxicity, sources, environmental fate and transport, and bioaccumulation of the contaminants studied. Results are given for such fish species as mountain whitefish, burbot, northern pike, and longnose sucker, and for concentrations observed at locations downstream and upstream of known sources of contaminants.},
