PESTAB. Goby-fish were collected at Keihinjima along Tokyo Bay in August 1978. Residues found in fish tissues on analysis were oxychlordane, 3 ppb; trans-chlordane, 9 ppb, cis-chlordane, 6 ppb; cis-nonachlor, 8 ppb; trans-nonachlor, 18 ppb; and heptachlor epoxide, 1 ppb. Levels of total chlordane including oxychlordane were comparable with those found for p,p'-DDE, 29 ppb. PCB levels detected were 670 ppb. Goby-fish is a water pollution tolerant species and may be used as a sensitive indicator of environmental pollution.
