Abstract
Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) fingerlings were given four injections at weekly intervals of either p,p′ -DDT, p,p′ -DDE, p,p′-DDD, or p,p′ -DDMU to yield tissue concentrations of 1–5 mg/kg wet wt. The effect of these treatments on the subsequent dehydrochlorination of an injection of 14C-p,p′ -DDT was investigated. The rate of dehydrochlorination of 14C-p,p′ -DDT by the trout was not influenced by these treatments and was more highly correlated with factors such as the weight of the fish and their lipid content. Of the compounds injected during the treatment of the fish, p,p′ -DDMU was cleared more rapidly than the others.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
