Fikslin, Ph.D., DRBC The accompanying files were prepared under agreement between the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). This compilation includes all readily available and existing chemical residue data for fish and shellfish samples collected from the Delaware Estuary. Although the compilation focuses primarily on samples collected from the tidal waters between Trenton, New Jersey and the mouth of the Delaware Bay, data are also presented for many non-tidal waters that drain to the tidal Delaware Estuary. This version also includes data on mercury obtained from a U.S. Geological Survey report. This file was prepared by DRBC staff. Efforts were made to present the chemical residue data as obtained from the primary sources. In other words, little to no manipulation of the raw data was performed. Liberty was taken, however, to reformat the data for ease of review and use. In the event that errors were made in transcribing data from the original sources to the enclosed files, we ask that readers notify the Delaware River Basin Commission so that corrections can be made during future releases of this data compilation. A special note of thanks is extended to the many people who eagerly shared their data for this project. In particular, the assistance of the following individuals is acknowledged: Delaware River Basin Commission: Thomas J.
