Overview

Study finds organochlorine pesticide contamination in Mugil cephalus, suggesting severe ecological stressors.

Key Points

  • Decline in total proteins, glycogen, and lipid content indicates stress on Mugil cephalus.
  • Detected levels of organochlorine pesticide residues exceeded FDA permissible limits.
  • Pollutants from coir retting and agriculture are likely contributing to pollution stress.
  • Bioaccumulation of organochlorine pesticides poses significant risks for fish health.
