This paper presents the quantitative detection of Aldrin in the liver, kidney and gills of the fresh water teleost Clarias batrachus by Gas liquid chromatography. The study was made after exposure of fish to a sublethal concentration of 170 ppm for 96 hrs, 15 days and 30 days. GLC has been particularly suitable for quantitative analysis of organo chlorinated pesticide residues GLC technique is applicable to nearly all volatile compounds the residues of the pesticides was present is very small amount say is microgram and some terms even lesser is nanogram level the method should be very sensitive. Liver was found in ten metabolites at different peaks. The higher concentration was found in 74.884 ng/L. Kidney was found in five metabolites in different peaks. Higher concentration was detected 99.1869 ng/L. Gills was found in two metabolites. The higher concentration was found in 4.417 ng/L. The results indicate as accumulation of Aldrin in these tissues. |
