Monitoring of Organochlorine Pesticide Residues in Pikeperch, Stizostedion Lucioperca L. In Beysehir Lake (Central Anatolia). Environmental Technology, 23(4), 391-394. Doi: 10.1080/095933325086184020959-3330https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09593332508618402https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/17997Fishes in Beysehir Lake were analysed to determine organochlorine residues. The more frequently detected compounds are DDT complex (DDT, DDD, DDE and isomers), total HCH complex (alpha-HCH, beta-HCH and gamma-HCH or lindane), aldrin, dieldrin, endrin and heptad-dorine. Eighty five percent of the fish samples were found to be contaminated. While 75 % of the total samples contaminated by one or more HCH isomers, 63 % of the organochlorinated pesticide is DDT and its metabolite, dieldrin and endrin are minor pesticides in samples. Heptachlorine was found in only one sample. Despite their presence high concentrations are sporadic, the mean values being less than FAO/WHO maximum recommended limits.en10.1080/09593332508618402info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessorganochlorine pesticidesfishpikeperchStizostedion luciopercaBeysehir LakeArticle23439139412088365Q2WOS:000176209300004Q3
