Yellow perch (Percaflavescens) were collected from six small acidic lakes in northwestern New Jersey. Analyses of muscle tissue identified a pattern of increased concentrations of rig in fish from the most acidic lakes; levels of Cd and Pb were greatly elevated in livers of specimens from two of the

## Abstract The distribution and nature of the Asβbearing components of the sediments of selected fresh water lakes in Saskatchewan, Canada, were studied. The total As contents ranged from 2.7 to 13.2 ppm As and were found to be present in both colloidal and nonβcolloidal fractions of the lake sedi
Concentrations of 14 elements (Ag, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn, TI, V, and Zn) were measured in the dorsal muscle of omnivorous white suckers and brown bullheads, fish likely to ingest sediment while feeding. The fish were collected in two acidic Adirondack lakes known to have elevated co
