Residue levels of organochlorine chemicals and polychlorinated biphenyls in fish from the Alexandria Region, Egypt

Tabulated data are given on the concentrations of residues of PCB and organochlorine insecticides in 5 species of fish from Abu Qir bay, and in Tilapia spp. from 2 lakes in the vicinity of Alexandria. Trends in residue levels of contaminants, the influence of body weight, size and fat content on con...

Description
Summary:	Tabulated data are given on the concentrations of residues of PCB and organochlorine insecticides in 5 species of fish from Abu Qir bay, and in Tilapia spp. from 2 lakes in the vicinity of Alexandria. Trends in residue levels of contaminants, the influence of body weight, size and fat content on concentrations of PCB and DDT in fish are discussed, and the concentrations in different species are compared.
