Abstract
Green mussel ( Perna viridis) collected from the Gulf of Thailand from May to August 1989 were analysed for the levels of BHCs, DDTs, HCB, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, and heptachlor epoxide. Concentrations of DDTs, aldrin, and dieldrin were found to be higher than those of other compounds. Heptachlor epoxide, endrin, β and δ isomers of BHC were not detected in any of the samples examined. The levels of organochlorine pesticide residues in green mussel did not exceed the maximum residue limit for aquatic animals as recommended by the Ministry of Public Health in Thailand.
