Organochlorine pesticide residue in Catfish (Clarias sp.) collected from local fish cultivation at Citarum watershed, West Java']Java Province, Indonesia

Fish samples were collected from local fish cultivation in the upper area of Citarum Watershed, West Java Province, Indonesia. The analytical method for organochlorine pesticides residue in fish samples were based on liquid-liquid extraction method. Except endrin, heptachlor, endosulfan, aldrin were detected in all sampling points compare with other OCPs. OCPs concentration in fish cultivated in dominated agricultural area tends to be higher than the fish from mixed agriculture and urban area. Risk analysis of organochlorine pesticides residue in fish processed with comparison between the estimated daily intake (EDI) with acceptable daily intake (ADI) proposed by Agriculture Organization and World Health (FAO/WHO) and Minimum Risk Level (MRL) formulated by US FDA to evaluate the chronic effects.
