Study aim: "The major objectives of this study were to (1) compare the concentrations of DDTs in muscles of freshwater fish and marine fish and in fish feed and sediment collected from different locations in the Pearl River Delta, (2) correlate concentrations of DDTs in sediment and feed with fish muscle, and (3) investigate the differences in bioaccumulation of DDTs in freshwater fish and marine fish in relation to fish feed."
