Cd. Simpson et al., CHLORDANE RESIDUES IN MARINE BIOTA AND SEDIMENT FROM AN INTERTIDAL SANDBANK IN MANUKAU HARBOR, NEW-ZEALAND, Marine pollution bulletin, 32(6), 1996, pp. 499-503
Low levels of chlordane residues were determined in several species of
mollusc and polychaetes and in a shallow sediment core from an intert
idal sandbank. Chlordane levels were lowest in surface sediments and i
ncreased with increasing sediment depth. Total chlordane levels were s
imilar in all molluscs (91-117 ng (g lipid)(-1)), but were twice as hi
gh in the polychaetes (202 ng (g lipid)(-1)). Copyright (C) 1996 Elsev
