Comparison of Lindane and Carbaryl Pesticide Bioaccumulation in the Common Sole (Solea solea).
Organochlorines and carbamates are common pesticides predominantly employed in agriculture. Large amounts of pesticides make their way into rivers and marine habitats. They accumulate in aquatic organisms through different exposure routes and gradually move up the food chain. Since contaminant bioaccumulation in animals is affected by several factors, this work harnessed several different approaches to explore the persistence of lindane, a long banned organochlorine pesticide, and carbaryl, a newer generation pesticide, in common sole (Solea solea), a major commercial species in Adriatic fisheries. Lindane was not only more accumulated than carbaryl in sole liver, but it was also detected in greater amount in muscle tissue, the edible part (lindane, 7 ± 4 ng/g; carbaryl, <0.004 ng/g w/w). Additional assays documented a greater accumulation of lindane in adults compared with juveniles and in specimens caught offshore than in those collected close to the coast. The present findings demonstrate the different accumulation dynamics of the two pesticides to confirm the benefits derived from the replacement of organochlorine pesticides with carbamate compounds.
