This study shows that persistent organochlorine contaminants, including PCBs, reached higher concentrations in lamprey of the St. Lawrence River basin 40 years ago. A comparison was made of the concentrations of 22 organochlorine pesticides and 93 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners in formalin-preserved lamprey ammocoetes collected between 1947–1950 and in 1990 in the St-François and Ste-Anne rivers, St. Lawrence River basin, Québec. Eight pesticides (β-BHC, α-Chlordane, γ-Chlordane, p,p′-DDD, o,p′-DDE, p,p′-DDE, p,p′-DDT, and Heptachlor) reached higher concentrations in the earlier period, with Mirex being the only pesticide found in higher concentrations in 1990. Seventeen PCB congeners (24(27), 28, 98(84), 101, 110(77), 128, 129, 141, 149, 151, 158, 174, 177, 180, 183, 187(182), and 198) had higher concentrations in the 1947–1950 period compared with 1990. A significant inverse relationship was found between the concentration of the various PCB congeners and sampling date. The concentrations of DDT have decreased significantly, while its metabolites, DDD and DDE, have increased significantly over the last 40 years.
