Dichlorodiphenyltrichl oroethane (DDT) residual levels are available several commercially dry fishes.

A total number of 36 samples were selected for analyzing in the laboratory by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry electron captured (GC-ECD) detector. The ranges of DDT in all samples were 2.81 to 877.82 ppb. The ranges of DDT in the samples of Bombay duck, Chinese pomfret, Ribbon f ish and Shrimp were 13.7-874.35ppb, 2.81OriginalResearch Article
