AB  - The levels of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), 
      dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), endosulfan, endosulfan sulfate, 
      carbofuran, and cartap which were estimated in the flesh of Catla catla sampled 
      from ten sites of Ravi River between its stretches from Shahdara to Head Balloki 
      were studied to know the level of contamination of the selected pesticides by 
      GC-ECD method. All fish samples were found contaminated with different 
      concentrations of DDT, DDE, endosulfan, and carbofuran; however, DDT and DDE 
      concentrations were more than the maximum residue limits (MRLs) about food 
      standards, while endosulfan sulfate and cartap were not detected. Pesticide 
      concentrations in the fish flesh were ranged from 3.240 to 3.389 for DDT, 2.290 
      to 2.460 for DDE, 0.112 to 0.136 for endosulfan, and 0.260 to 0.370 mug g(-1) for 
      carbofuran. The findings revealed that the pesticide concentrations in the fish 
      flesh decreased in the order: DDT > DDE > carbofuran > endosulfan. After Degh 
      fall and After Hudiara nulla fall river sampling sites were found severely 
      contaminated. It is proposed that a constant monitoring programs are needed to be 
      initiated to overcome the present alarming situation.
