Abstract
The present project assessed the effect of environmental contamination with polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs) , and biphenyls (PCBs) on hepatic microsomal ethoxyresorufin O-deethyl ase (EROD) activities and morphological parameters in matched double-c rested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) hatchlings from egg clutches chosen for chemical analysis. Double-crested cormorant eggs were colle cted from five colonies
