- Title
Accumulation and Depuration of DDTs in the Food Chain from Artemia to Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis).

- Abstract
The article discusses the study that determines the accumulation and depuration of DDT in the food chain from Artemia to brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis, obtained from Rhode Island. This study is intended to assess the extent to which the contaminated Artemia nauplii serve as the source of organochlorine pesticides for accumulation or dietary transfer in a predatory fish, brook trout. A demonstration shows that persistent chlorinated compounds were accumulated in the Artemia nauplii through aqueous environments. However, it depends on different magnitudes of contamination conditions, and the bioconcentration factors in this small zooplankton were consistent with the contamination levels.
