“…DDT was also found in several fish samples except for horse mackerel in Turkey (Erdoğrul et al , 2005; Uluocak & Egemen, 2005; Erkmen & Kolankaya, 2006; Kalyoncu et al , 2009; Çakıroğulları & Secer, 2011; Bozcaarmutlu et al , 2014). OCP-concentrations in fish samples were dominated by total-DDT followed by total-HCH in this study, similar to the results found by Barlas et al (2000), Erdoğrul et al (2005), Coelhan et al (2006), Çakıroğulları & Secer (2011) and Georgieva et al (2012). This could be explained by the fact that DDT has high chemical and thermal stability (Di Bella et al ., 2006).…”

The levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were assessed in horse mackerel (Trachurus sp.) samples collected monthly between October 2010 and October 2011 from four regions (Bosphorus, Bandırma, Gelibolu, Tekirdağ) in the Marmara Sea. α-Endosulfan and heptachlor were not detected in any fish samples. The annual average OCP levels among the regions ranged between 0.09–12.2 ng g−1 (wet weight), 0.8–168 (lipid weight), while the annual average PCB levels among the regions ranged between 0.55–4.98 ng g−1 (wet weight), and 7.01–116 (lipid weight), respectively. Total-DDT, total-HCH, PCB 138 and PCB 153 were the most predominant contaminants in the fish samples. There was no relation between lipid content of horse mackerel samples and residues of the contaminants. OCP and PCB levels detected in all of the fish samples were below the limits recommended by the EU Commission (2011), Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (1983), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (2011) and Turkish Food Codex (2011).

“…This suggests that these pesticides have not been recently used in agriculture after their ban. In all tested samples, the residues were found in the order of DDE > DDD > DDT and this is in agreement with the results of other studies [18,19]. The concentrations of DDTs in investigated samples goby, golden grey mullet and silverside were found lower than those reported by Erdogrul, Ö., 2005 for carp from the Kahramanmaras, Turkey (median 77.4 ng/g ww) [13], and those reported by Covaci, A. et al, 2006 from Danube Delta (2 847 ng/g lipid weight) [18].…”

Abstract.Concentrations of organochlorine compounds such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT and its metabolites, hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and hexachlorobutadiene (HBDE) were determined in three fish species: goby (Neogobius melanostomus), golden grey mullet (Mugil auratus) and silverside (Atherina boyeri). Samples were collected from the Lake Varna and the Lake Beloslav in 2014. The edible fish tissues were analyzed in order to investigate the presence of pollutants in species from the lakes near Varna City, Bulgaria and compared the results to the levels in other aquatic ecosystems. The fifteen congeners of PCBs, HCB, HCBD, DDT and its two main metabolites DDE and DDD were determined by capillary gas chromatography system with mass spectrometry detection. The OCPs levels in the wild fish were found in the order DDTs > PCBs. The other contaminants HCB and HCBD were not detected or were below the analytical detection limit. Among the pesticides, essentially only the metabolites p, p'-DDE and p, p'-DDD were found.The concentrations of DDTs were determined from 2.66 to 17.97 ng/g wet weight and PCBs concentrations were found from 0.43 to 8.05 ng/g ww (in goby and golden grey mullet, respectively). The sum of the six Indicator PCBs did not exceed the European maximum limit 75 ng/g wet weight. The concentrations of DDTs and PCBs were found lower compared to those in similar fish species from other aquatic ecosystems.

“…The levels of DDTs detected in fish species from the Black Sea, Bulgaria were comparable to those reported for fish from other aquatic ecosystems (Ferreira et al, 2004;Naso et al, 2005;Coelhan et al, 2006;Stoichev et al, 2007;Kalyoncu et al, 2009;Georgieva S., 2012).…”

Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and DDT residues (DDTs) can still be a problem for the aquatic environment and the human health. PCBs and DDTs were determined in three freshwater fish species: common carp (Cyprinus carpio), catfish (Silurus glanis), pike-perch (Sander lucioperca) and two marine fish: shad (Alosa pontica pontica) and grey mullet (Mugil cephalus). The freshwater fish samples were collected from the Danube River and from Black Sea, Bulgaria in 2010. The POPs were analyzed in order to investigate the presence of PCBs and DDTs in fish species from Danube River and compared the results to the levels in marine fish species from Black Sea. The fifteen congeners of PCBs, p,p’-DDT and its two main metabolites p,p’-DDE and p,p’-DDD were determined by capillary gas chromatography system with mass spectrometry detection. DDTs were the predominant contaminants in investigated species, with the p,p’- DDE contributing to more than 67% to the total DDTs. In freshwater fish concentrations of DDTs were found from 19.2 to 30.3 ng/g ww and PCBs concentrations - from 6.2 to 12.6 ng/g ww. The highest levels of PCBs and DDTs were determined in shad. The levels of DDTs and PCBs were determined lower than those found in similar fish species from other aquatic ecosystems.
