:DDT in fish-eating birds (pelicans) 25 ppm DDT in large fish (needlefish) 2 ppm. Concentration DDT in small fish (minnows) 0.5 ppm has increased 10 million times DDT in small - zooplankton 0.04 ppm DDT in water -0.000003 ppm Figure 18.12 The concentration of the pesticide DDT in the fatty tissues of organisms was biologically amplified approximately 10 million times in this food chain of an estuary adjacent to Long Island Sound, near New York City. Dots represent DDT, and arrows show small losses of DDT through respiration and excretion. Concentrations of DDT interfere with, among other functions, calcium metabolism. Pelicans off the California coast were similarly affected and unable to form proper eggshells. Their population plummeted. Bujween abeb ueg e
