Uptake and distribution of C-14-carbofuran and C-14-HCH were studied i
n a cat fish (Heteropnenstes fossilis). It was observed that C-14-carb
ofuran was taken up and remained in spleen while C-14-HCH was absorbed
in muscles of the cat fish for a short period only. It may be conclud
ed that there is no bioaccumulation of both these insecticides in cat
fish at the recommended field application rates. Copyright (C) 1996 El
