  By V. Dhananjayan, S. Muralidharan, R. Jayakumar, P. Selvam

  Abstract: The work described in this study evaluated the organochlorine pesticide (OCP) residues in the inland wetland fishes of Gujarat, India, and their suitability for human consumption. Among the various OCPs analyzed, isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), γ-HCH and β-HCH were detected in 70%–80% of samples. The p,p’-DDE, metabolites of DDT were detected in higher load. Of the nine species of fishes tested, the maximum load of ∑HCH and ∑DDT was recorded …

Of all the birds, levels of DDT, HCH and dieldrin recorded in some of the species …
