Striped weakfish (Cynoscion guatucupa): A biomonitor of organochlorine pesticides in estuarine and near-coastal zones

Heavy metal (Pb, Co, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) concentrations in harvest-size white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei tissues from aquaculture and wild source

“…The elevated zinc and iron data might be explained by greater metal bioavailability for white shrimp than the other trace metals. In either event, the ability for metal enrichment in aquatic animals has resulted in their frequent use as monitoring bioassays (Williams and Mackenzie, 2003;Lanfranchi et al, 2006;Birungi et al, 2007;Abrahamson et al, 2008).…”

Pesticides Reaching the Environment as a Consequence of Inappropriate Agricultural Practices in Argentina

“…On the one hand, among the reported POPs, PCBs dominated, followed by Chlordanes and DDTs. On the other hand, in 2006, Endosulfan sulfate, Chlordanes, HCH isomers and DDT compounds dominated in tissues and ingested food of fish (Cynoscion guatucupa), from Bahía Blanca Estuary (Lanfranchi et al, 2006). These authors also identifiedChlordane, Heptachlor and p,p´-DDE as the major bioaccumulated and biomagnified OCs.…”

Food Processing Effect on the Residue Levels of Organochlorine Compounds In Fishes

“…Fish is widely used to monitor the environmental conditions, as they are the bio-indicators and they take contaminants directly from water and diet (Lanfranchi et al, 2006). Agriculture and their allied sectors like dairy, fisheries is one of the largest contributors to the gross domestic product (GDP) i.e.…”
