“…Regarding the content of the DDT metabolites and PCB congeners only p,p'-DDE, p,p'-DDD, PCB 52 and PCB 153 were found in almost all fish samples. The presence of p,p'-DDE could be correlated to a previous use of DDT in agricultural activity, to high environmental persistence because of their chemical and thermal stability, to different climatic environmental conditions, to marine currents, to different migratory habits of aquatic organisms and to different feeding habits as Di Bella et al (2006) mentioned. The bioaccumulation of organochlorine compounds is a complex phenomenon governed by either physico-chemical properties of these compounds or ecological and biological factors such as feeding behaviours, growth rate, habit, age, sex, state of health as well as the lipid composition of an animal's tissue or organs (Barlas, 1999;Robertson and Hansen, 2001;Storelli et al, 2004;Di Bella et al, 2006).…”

The concentrations of indicator polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-chlorophenyl-ethane (DDT) and its metabolites were determined in whiting (Merlangius merlangus euxinus N. 1840) and horse mackerel (Trachurus mediterraneus S. 1868) from the İzmit Bay, Turkey. The results showed that the levels of the total PCBs ranged from 1.49 to 39.69 ng/g fresh weight in whiting, and from 5.61 to 58.61 ng/g fresh weight in horse mackerel. Total DDTs concentrations were found from 1.08 to 66.73 ng/g fresh weight in whiting, and 4.69 to 116.25 ng/g fresh weight in horse mackerel. Concentrations of PCBs and DDTs in horse mackerel were found higher than those in whiting. Congeners IUPAC Nos. 52, 101, 153 were found frequently in whiting and horse mackerel samples. Analysis of DDT and its metabolites showed that p,p'-DDE was dominant in both of the fish species. Total PCB and DDT concentrations in fish samples were found lower than the maximum residue limits fixed by legislations.Keywords: Fish, organochlorine contaminants, Marmara Sea.

Total PCB'lerin konsantrasyonları mezgit balıklarında 1,49-39,69 ng/g yaş ağırlık olarak bulunurken, istavrit balıklarında ise 5,61-58,61 ng/g yaş ağırlık olarak tespit edilmiştir. Total DDT konsantrasyonları ise mezgit balığında 1,08-66,73 ng/g yaş ağırlık olarak bulunurken, istavrit balıklarında 4,69-116,25 ng/g yaş ağırlık olarak bulunmuştur. PCB ve DDT konsantrasyonları istavrit balığında mezgit balığına kıyasla daha yüksek bulunurken, her iki balık türünde de tespit edilen en baskın bileşenler PCB52, PCB101, PCB153 ve p,p'-DDE'dir. Sonuç olarak total PCB ve DDT konsantrasyonları tebliğlerde belirtilen maksimum kalıntı limitlerinin altında bulunmuştur.Anahtar Kelimeler: Balık, organik klorlu bileşikler, Marmara Denizi.

“…Through surface runoff, river inputs and atmospheric deposition, persistent pesticides have spread to every aquatic environment, entering the marine food chain [48][49][50][51][52]. Aquatic organisms such as fish and shellfish are able to accumulate pesticide residue concentrations several times higher than the surrounding water [5].…”

In the present study, we investigated the concentrations and distribution of organochlorine pesticides (OCs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in intestine, liver, and muscle samples of 11 common buzzards (Buteo buteo) from Sicily used as bioindicator for monitoring pollution in environment. All samples of common buzzards were collected at the "Recovery Center of Wild Fauna" of Palermo, through the Zooprophilactic Institute. Quantitative determination of OCs and PCBs in the samples examined has been carried out using HRGC-ECD and GC-MS. The results obtained show the presence of concentrations of ∑DDT and ∑PCB in almost all samples. Regarding ∑DDT (4,4(')-DDE, 2,4(')-DDD, 4,4(')-DDD, 2,4(')-DDT, and 4,4(')-DDT), the highest concentrations were found in intestine (0.411 ± 0.050 μg/g) followed by muscle (0.130 ± 0.017 μg/g) and liver samples (0.109 ± 0.014 μg/g). As regards the ∑PCB congeners (PCB-28, PCB-52, PCB-95, PCB-99, PCB-101, PCB-110, PCB-138, PCB-146, PCB-149, PCB-151, PCB-153, PCB-170, PCB-177, PCB-180, PCB-183, and PCB-187), the highest concentrations were found in intestine (1.686 ± 0.144 μg/g) followed by liver (1.064 ± 0.162 μg/g) and muscle samples (0.797 ± 0.078 μg/g). Our data deserve particular attention not only for their significance but especially because they were recorded in Sicily, a region with a very low risk of environmental pollution due to the shortage of industries.
