Abstract The bioconcentration of chlordanes by fresh water food chain organisms gave values of 5,560 for algae, 24,000 for daphnids, and 162 for goldfish. The transfer of preexposed daphnids and goldfish to insecticide-free water resulted in up to 90% elimination of the absorbed/adsorbed dose in 7 and 11 days, respectively. Tissue distribution of chlordane suggests that the biliary pathway of excretion, along with elimination through the gill, kidney, and feces, may be important in the elimination of lipophilic hydrocarbons by fish.
