Participating Agencies
- PA Sea Grant
The specific objectives of this project are to (1) quantify the occurrence and concentration of select PFAS in the muscle (fillet) and gill tissue of lentic invasive snakeheads across a developed land use gradient and (2) use gene expression profiles to identify potential biochemical response pathways and gene expression biomarkers of PFAS exposure.
