Polychlorinated Hydrocarbons in Fish Mugil cephalus Collected from Cuddalore Coast, Bay of Bengal
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of the present study was to determine the presence of p,p’-DDT and its metabolites (p,p’DDE and p,p’-DDD) and ã-HCH and PCBs in the muscle of gray mullet, Mugil cephalus collected from Cuddalore coast of Bay of Bengal during the period from June 2009 to January 2010. Polychlorinated hydrocarbons are convenient indicators of environmental pollution. The analyses were carried out using the method of gas chromatography. The muscle of mullet demonstrated the highest content of DDT and PCBs. The present results will constitute a contribution to the knowledge on the presence of polychlorinated hydrocarbons in the marine environment.
