Abstract |
Effects of the PCB Aroclor 1016 on reproduction, growth, and survival of mink (Mustela vison) were investigated. Mink raised according to commercial mink-ranch procedures were fed diets that contained 0, 2, 10, and 25 ppm Aroclor 1016 for up to 18 months. Reproduction was not adversely affected, although kit growth and survival were suboptimum in some of the treated groups. No hematologic differences were observed between the treated and non-treated mink, but heart weight increased and kidney weight decreased in the older animals of two of the three PCB-treated groups. No consistent gross lesions associated with PCB toxicity were observed. The PCB residue in mink tissues was directly related to the quantity of Aroclor 1016 in the diet. Residues in mink kits suggest that Aroclor 1016 passes the placental barrier. |
