^a Subsamples were analyzed from two different locations of the sample of blubber.
^b Duplicates refers to analyses of replicate subsamples of a unique sample.
^c The identification of the analyte was confirmed by gas chromatography/mass spectrophotometry (GC/MS); the identification would apply to all other samples that had similar GC patterns.
