Fish, primarily common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides, were sampled from a total of 16 stations (11 former NCBP stations, 5 NASQAN sites) in the Columbia River drainage by USFWS and USGS personnel during September 1997 to April 1998. Together, the array of sites, analyses, and assays provide a synoptic overview of the current distribution of a wide variety of contaminants and their effects on fish in much of the Columbia River drainage.
