This study examines the concentrations of various organohalogen compounds, including p,p’-DDE, trans-nonachlor, and HCB, found in tuna samples cultured in the Okinawa, Kagoshima, Kochi, Wakayama, and Mie Prefectures. Results are expressed on a wet weight basis, providing critical insight into the environmental impact of organochlorines in marine life. The research highlights regional differences in contamination levels, which are crucial for public health assessments and regulatory standards regarding seafood safety.
