Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in 3 species of Antarctic Penguins
Entry ID: ECA033

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The data set reports the POP concentrations in three species of penguins: Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae), Chinstrap penguin (Pygoscelis antarctica) and Gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua).
