title: The eel (Anguilla sp) and organic chemical pollutants.
abstract: The effects of pollutants [pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), hydrocarbons and surfactants] on different species of eel are reviewed. Two types of data are analyzed from the existing literature (72 references), namely those for contaminated waters and those for experiments under laboratory conditions. It is concluded that the eel is not as resistant as has generally been suggested.
