PG - 662-7 LID - 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2011.12.020 [doi] AB - The occurrence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in crabs Hepatus pudibundus and Callinectesdanae was assessed from two different places inside of the Santos Bay and Moela Island near one of the most economically important metropolitan areas in Southern Brazil. Among POPs analyzed, summation operatorPCBs (222-923 ng g(-1)lipid weight) and summation operatorDDTs (154-410 ng g(-1)lw) exhibited the highest concentrations in the crabs. summation operatorHCHs ranged from 10.3 to 30.9 ng g(-1)lw and were found in all individuals. Other OCPs found in lower concentration was Mirex (7.6-41.6 ng g(-1)lw) and HCB (5.83-16.9 ng g(-1)lw). summation operatorPBDEs (24.1 ng g(-1)lw) were only found in one male individual from the species C. danae collected near to the submarine sewage of Santos. Male crabs showed higher POP concentrations than female crabs for those two species. CI - Copyright (c) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
