Forage fishes such as herring (Clupea sp.), surf smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus), and Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes hexapterus) are an important component in the marine food web as a food source for birds, fish, and marine mammals. In Puget Sound, despite on-going protection and restoration efforts, populations of forage fish appear to be in decline. One contributing factor to these declines might be exposure to toxic anthropogenic compounds in the water and sediment of Puget Sound. Contaminant concentrations previously have been measured in herring, but little is known regarding contaminant body burdens in Pacific sand lance—the focus of this research—or in surf smelt. Due to their burrowing habits, sand lance may be susceptible to increased e...
