Abstract

A five year (1988–1993) monitoring programme in respect of endosulfan residues in large (1 kg) and small (100–200 g) fishes collected from different markets of Calcutta and suburbs, showed contamination of 227 fishes out of the 346 sampled. The level of contamination ranged from 0.01 to more than 0.3 ppm.
