摘要：

It has been shown that fish-eating and certain other carniverous birds have higher levels of organochlorine pesticides and mercury residues than any other types of birds. This paper reports levels of these residues found in the White Pelican, Pelicanus erythrorhynchos, in southern Idaho. The highest levels of mercury were found in the liver tissues, the highest mercury level being 32. 80 ppm and the lowest level in the particular tissue 2. 33 ppm. The organochlorine residues were so high in the single bird studied for these pesticides as to possibly account for its death. The total DDT residue level of 1498 ppm was significantly higher than levels previously reported.
