Absorption of p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene and dieldrin in largemouth bass from a 60-d slow-release pellet and detection using a novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method for blood plasma.
This work describes the uptake of two organochlorine pesticides from slow-release pellets by largemouth bass and the utility of a blood plasma enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method for exposure verification. We measured blood and tissue levels by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and by a novel ELISA method, and present a critical comparison of the results.
