Abstract

The chemical nature of our environment has been altered for the past 20 years by the addition of several hundred thousand synthetic chemical compounds. Some of these were used as pesticides although their general lack of specificity suggests that the term biocide may be more appropriate (Carson, 1962) The environmental persistence, accumulation, and effects (singular, additive, or synergistic) of these chemicals in the biosphere are poorly understood. As a beginning toward understanding the biological significance of this chemical alteration, we must determine if, how, and in what amounts these contaminating compounds or their residues are being incorporated into ecosystems. Only after these questions are answered, can we ask legitimate questions regarding the effects of these chemicals on living systems—individuals, populations, and communities. All of these contaminants or residues reach the aquatic environment. The persistence and low water solubility of many pesticides contribute to their concentration in fish tissues. Residue analyses may in themselves provide us with indications of the action and effects of pesticides on fish and their ecosystems.
