Moderate levels of contaminants are found in ringed seals (Pusa hispida<\/em>) from Svalbard. Ringed seals are the polar bear’s main prey, and moderate pollutant levels in ringed seals may contribute to high levels in polar bears. Most of the legacy contaminants are decreasing in ringed seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
