M.  aBioaccumulation and elimination of endosulfan in the fish yellow tetra (Hyphessobrycon bifasciatus).h[electronic resource]  c1993  aEndosulfan is a broad spectrum insecticide used in Brazil on cocoa, coffee, cotton and soybean crops. Although unstable in the environment, endosulfan is highly toxic to fish, with LC50 values in the range of parts per billion. Few data on the fate of endosulfan in fish tissues are available and toxicokinetic pattern of this pesticide in tropical fish is not well known. In this study, we investigated the uptake and elimination of endosulfan in the yellow tetra fish (Hyphessobrycon bifasciatus), a species widely distributed in ponds and lakes of Sao Paulo State and Southern Brazil.  aabsorption  afish  aHyphessobrycon bifasciatus  atoxicology  aEndosulfan  aBioconcentration  aElimination  aInsecticide  aPesticide  aResidues  aToxicokinetics1 aTOLEDO, M.
