  • Title: Increasing frequency of thyroid goiters in Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in the Great Lakes.
    Author: Moccia RD, Leatherland JF, Sonstegard RA.
    Journal: Science; 1977 Oct 28; 198(4315):425-6. PubMed ID: 910140.
    Abstract:
    Coho salmon collected during the 1976 spawning runs from Lakes Michigan, Ontario, and Erie had overt goiter frequencies of 6.3, 47.6, and 79.5%, respectively. These represent significant increases over the frequencies observed in previous years. Epizootiological data suggest that environmental goitrogens (possibly pollutants) may be involved in the etiology of the thyroid disorder.
