Tailfat samples were collected from 56 platypuses, 38 male and 18 female in Tasmania. No statistically significant, nor apparent, differences between the sexes were found for tailfat lipid levels and DDT and its metabolites. Lindane and PCB concentrations in tailfat lipid. Apparently--but not statistically--significantly different levels of DDT and its metabolites. Lindane and PCB concentrations were found in animals from different geographic regions of the State. Higher concentrations of DDT and its metabolites and Lindane were related to the intensity of agricultural activity and elevated PCB levels were mainly found in animals from zones with industrial and hydroelectric developments.
从塔斯马尼亚的56只鸭嘴兽身上采集了尾脂样本,其中雄性38只,雌性18只。在尾脂脂质水平、滴滴涕及其代谢物方面,未发现两性之间存在统计学上的显著差异或明显差异。尾脂脂质中的林丹和多氯联苯浓度。该州不同地理区域的动物体内,滴滴涕及其代谢物、林丹的浓度显然(但无统计学意义)存在显著差异。滴滴涕及其代谢物和林丹的较高浓度与农业活动强度有关,多氯联苯水平升高主要见于有工业和水电开发区域的动物。
