Popis: Samples of the mussel Mytilus edulis were collected from the Punta Banda Estuary, Baja California, Mexico, during the winter of 1984. The total concentration of DDT was determined by means of gas chromatography in samples composed of a different number of individuals (5, 10, 15, 20, and 30). It was found that 20 mussels is the optimum number of individuals to homogenize in a single sample in order to find the least analytical variability.
