Abstract

In order to provide more data for the characterization of organochlorine residue levels in marine food chains we analysed animals of three areas: English Channel (I), central North Sea (II), and eastern North Sea (III). Animal tissues were investigated for finding possible correlations between residue levels and body size or ecological parameters. This paper deals with residues of PCBs, DDT, DDE, and DDD in five species from the English Channel. The organisms, which are listed in Table I, were caught either by dredging or bottom trawling on Nov. 26/27, 1971 during the 158th cruise of FFS "Anton Dohrn". The compounds were determined by gas chromatography in two independent working groups, identifications were performed by the GC-MS technique.
