Studies on the Pollutants from Petroleum (II) On the Normal-and Iso-paraffins Detected in the Fishes from the Near Sea of Korea

석유로부터 유래되는 오염물질에 관한 연구(II) 한국 연근해산 어류중 Normal- 및 Iso-paraffin 함량

As main index of petroleum pollution in the marine organisms n-, iso-paraffins were purified with clean-up method and measured by FID-GC. Ten species of fishes from the near seas of Korea were employed for the study. n-Heptadecane was detected in most fishes. n-Hexadecane and n-octadecane of n-paraffins were highly accumulated in four species of fishes(Seriola quinqueradiata, Sardinia melamosticta, Clupanodon punctatus and Stromateoids argentus), also n-tetradecane and n-hexadecane accumulated in Cololadis saira. Remarkable peak pattern of n-paraffins was not observed in other fishes. Pristane of iso-paraffins was detected in four species of fishes (Sardinia melamosticta, Clupanodon punctatus, Stromateoides orgentus and Cololadis saira).
