Significance of food chain in DDT accumulation by fish

  • 1. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, Columbia, Mo. (USA). Fish-Pesticide Research Lab.

Description

Brook trout accumulated approximately 10 times more of the available DDT from the food than directly from the water. Since, in aquatic environments, the concentration of DDT is usually much higher in the food chain than in the water, we suggest that the food chain is the major source of DDT for fish in natural waters.
