Organochlorine pesticides in two fish species from the southern Caspian Sea

In L. aurata, lindane showed the highest level among the measured components (1.642 ppb), whereas α-lindane showed the highest mean level of the measured components (0.57 ppb). In this investigation, the total amount of organochlorine compounds in R. frisii kutum was more than that in L. aurata, but these compounds indicated no significant difference between the two types of fishes (p > 0.05). Moreover, the measured components in both types of fishes were lesser than the allowable limit.
