Trophic transfer efficiency of DDT to lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) from their prey

January 1, 2004

The objective of our study was to determine the efficiency with which lake trout retain DDT from their natural food. Our estimate of DDT assimilation efficiency would represent the most realistic estimate, to date, for use in risk assessment models.
