Pollutant levels in char (Salvelinus alpinus<\/em>) are generally low in the Arctic. Some of the highest PCB values in arctic freshwater fish are, nevertheless, measured in stationary char from Ellasj\u00f8en, a lake on Bj\u00f8rn\u00f8ya. There are two reasons for these high levels. The largest and oldest fish eat younger char. In addition, guano from seabirds reaches Ellasj\u00f8en, making char in this lake particularly exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
