Abstract
⺠â PCBs levels were high for all delphinids (from 0.6 to 257.2 μg gâ 1 lw). ⺠The highest concentrations were found in killer whale and false killer whale. ⺠Fraser's dolphins presented the lowest contamination levels among all analyzed species. ⺠There was a predominance of p,pâ²DDE for ΣDDT in all species. ⺠Discriminant analysis showed a different organochlorine accumulation pattern among delphinids.
