Endrin has been detected in several marine fish species in regional or state monitoring studies. From 1990 to 1993, endrin was found in 40 of 47 whole or fillet samples of red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) at 2 of 4 sites along the South Carolina coast, at mean concentrations of 5.61 8.94 and 0.65 3.67 ppb wet weight (Mathews 1994). In this same study, endrin was found in 33 of 74 flounder (Paralichthys lethostigma) samples, and in 19 of 58 seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus) samples at only one coastal site, at mean concentrations of 0.14 0.81 and 2.68 11.13 ppb, respectively. Endrin was detected in all of 10 liver tissue samples from cod (Gadus morhua) in the Northwest Atlantic at a mean concentration of 9 ppb (range, 5-19 ppb), but not in muscle or ovary samples (Hellou et al. 1993).

Elevated production of Vg in males or immature fish may be associated with two different types of consequences for an individual decreased survival or impaired reproduction. First, extremely high levels of Vg in the circulation of males (tens of mg/ml) may cause renal failure and therefore pose a threat to survival, as has been demonstrated in summer flounder, Paralichthys dentatus44. Second, high levels of Vg in males or juveniles may be produced in response to an EDC exposure that also alters sexual development and causes impaired fertility. In the first case, Vg overproduction causes an overt toxicity problem in the second, it serves as an indicator of a more subtle reproductive problem. The association between elevated plasma Vg and other...
