Abstract
Conclusions
Two products, thought to be metabolites of dieldrin, have been detected in extracts of the liver and of various organs of the sailfin mollie P. latipinna, after the fish had been exposed to dilute solutions of dieldrin in sea water for 1 hr. Some properties of these substances are different from those described for dieldrin metabolites in other animals. We suggest that they may be partially dechlorinated cyclo-diene fragments of the dieldrin originally administered.
