Six marine fish species, collected from the Beibu Gulf were statistically analyzed for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs). The concentrations of ∑14PBDEs, ∑26PCBs, and ∑6DDTs ranged from 11.8–1431, 8.74–495, and 9.47–...
