Popis:	The residue levels of organochlorine pesticides are determined in marine organisms (fish, crustaceans and molluscs) from Mediterranean coast of Morocco on a regional and a seasonal basis. The analyzed compounds are: hexachlorobenzene (HCB), lindane, heptachlor epoxide, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, p,p'dichlorodiphyenyl‐trichloroethane (p,p'DDT), and its derivatives (p.p'DDD and p,p'DDE). Most of the samples analyzed showed detectable contamination levels by these compounds, however this contamination remains below the acceptable limits and no human health hazards are likely to occur through the consumption of such seafood products. A comparison with other Occidental Mediterranean studies showed a general tendency of chlorinated hydrocarbons contamination decrease between 1985 and 1989 for the species Mullus barbatus and Mytilus galloprovincialis. In general, the results did not show any significant variations according to seasonal and sampling sites.
