“…Macek and Korn (1970) reported that Salvelinus fontinalis concentrated more DDT from food than from water. Bahner et al (1977) observed that the accumulation of the pesticide kepone from water by algae was the dominant source of pesticide to Mysidopsis bahia and Palaemonetes pugio. Reinert (1972), on the other hand, reported that D. magna concentrated more dieldrin from water than from food.…”

“…3). Bahner et al (1977) observed uptake of kepone from both food and water (bioaccumulation) in marine food chains conducted in laboratory experiments. Although trophic transfer was observed in both green algaoyster and an Artemia sp.-mysid shrimp-spot food webs, biomagnification did not occur (TIC =0.01 for alga-oyster and TICs = 1.0 and 0.9 for Artemia-shrimp-spot).…”

“…harrisii, a period of 16 to 19 days, is not known, but Bahner et al (1977) reported that it was up to 13,000 times the amount in exposure water when mysids were exposed to 0.026 ktg 1-1 for 14 days. Kepone once bioconcentrated is not readily lost, because deputation in crustaceans is slow (Bahner etaL, 1977).…”

Abstract. Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effects of Kepone on the larval development of the mud-crab, Rhithropanopeus harrisii, and the commercial blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, from the time of hatching until the 1 st crab stage was reached.Differential survival of R. harrisii from hatching to 1st crab stage occurred in a range of 35 to 125 ppb Kepone, whereas differential survival of C. sapidus over the same period of development occurred in a range of 0.1 to 1.0 ppb. Statistical analysis indicated that, for every 10 ppb Kepone added, duration from hatching to 1st crab stage of R. harrisii was increased by 0.391 + 0.043 days; whereas for each increase of 0.1 ppb, the duration from hatching to 1st crab stage of C. sapidus is prolonged by 0.38 + 0.10 days. The 1st and 2nd zoeal stages of R. harris# were the most sensitive developmental stages to Kepone, but the 1st zoeal stage of C. sapidus was not sensitive, statistically, to any concentration of Kepone tested. In zoeal stages II, IIl and IV, there were significant increases in mortality of C. sapidus over the previous stage in all media tested.
