Maximum concentrations of chlordanes in American oysters (Crassostrea virginica) taken in the Gulf of Mexico in 1976 were near 0.1 pg/kg dry weight (Table 13.2). Chlordane concentrations were substantially lower than concentrations of other organochlorines measured in oysters, such as DDT (28 pg/kg) and polychlorinated biphenyls (90 pg/kg), suggesting a need for additional studies on interaction effects of chlordane residues with those of other environmental chemicals (Rosales et al. 1979).

Mytilus edulis) from the dissolved phase of seawater was predictable from the log of the bioconcentration factor and the log Kow of the congeners (Bergen et al. 1993). American oysters (Crassostrea virginica) from Galveston Bay, Texas, contained as much as 1100 pg/kg total PCBs DW soft parts, whereas conspecihcs from Tampa Bay, Florida, contained only 580 pg/kg DW soft parts most (54 to 94%) of the relative toxicity in both groups was due to PCBs 77,126, and 169 (Sericano et al. 1994).
