Sarkar (1994), in a chapter on the occurrence and distribution of persistent chlorinated hydrocarbons in the seas around India, stated that isomers of HCH, aldrin, dieldrin and PCBs occur in water of different regions of the Indian Ocean and surrounding seas with remarkable variations in the levels of DDT between the coastal and open ocean waters. PCBS were found to be relatively in higher amounts in the surface waters of southwest Indian Ocean than the eastern Indian Ocean which he has attributed to the larger input of these chemicals from the African coast.
