Table 2.3.1. Compounds analyzed in sediments and fish tissues in the West Coast 
Shelf Assessment. All compounds were analyzed in all three states in both 
sediment and fish with the exceptions that PAHs, antimony and manganese were 
analyzed in fish tissues only in California and Washington, and 
hexachlorobenzene was not analyzed in fish tissues in California.
