Bioaccumulation Study at Puffer Pond

Abstract

The United States Army Environmental Center (USAEC) tasked Ecology and Environment, Inc., (E & E) to conduct a bioaccumulation study at Puffer Pond to determine whether elevated levels of contaminants, related to the operation and maintenance of the Fort Devens Sudbury Training Annex (the Annex), are present in Puffer Pond fish, relative to a reference pond believed to represent local background conditions. Ministers Pond, a pond similar to Puffer Pond and located off Annex property, was chosen as the reference pond. This study augments data from earlier studies which indicate trace levels of metals and pesticide residues in Puffer Pond fish tissues.
