Status of Contamination of the Jawfish (Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus, (Lapécède, (1803)) by Organophosphorus Residues in the Hydroelectric Dams of Faé, Kossou and Taabo (Ivory Coast)
Abstract:The present study aims at determining the level of contamination of the jawfish (Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus) by organophosphate residues in the hydroelectric dams of Faé, Kossou and Taabo. Ninety (90) fish were collected from these three dams during eight sampling campaigns. Composite samples were formed, each for two fish. A total of forty-five (45) composite samples were formed. The detection of pesticide residues in the fish samples was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC/MS). The result… Show more
