More than a half million pounds of DDT were applied to control mosquitoes in salt marsh estuaries of Cape May County, New Jersey, from 1946 to 1966. The use of DDT was discontinued in the County after 1966. In 1967, mean concentrations of DDT and metabolites ranged from 0.63 to 9.05 ppm in aquatic fauna, but by 1973 mean residue levels had decreased 84 to 99 percent among nine species. DDE was still present at reduced levels in nearly all samples in 1973, but other DDT isomers had mostly disappeared. Dieldrin was detected only in clapper rails, and residue levels decreased during the period. Mean concentrations of PCB's increased in the clapper rail, remained the same in the fiddler crab and mud snail, and decreased in the sheepshead minnow, mummichog, striped killifish, and salt marsh snail. Small amounts of mirex, toxaphene, cis-chlordane (and/or trans-nonachlor), oxychlordane, and HCB were detected in a few specimens.
1946年至1966年期间，新泽西州开普梅县在盐沼河口使用了超过50万磅的滴滴涕来控制蚊子。1966年后，该县停止使用滴滴涕。1967年，水生动物体内滴滴涕及其代谢物的平均浓度在0.63至9.05 ppm之间，但到1973年，9个物种的平均残留水平下降了84%至99%。1973年，几乎所有样本中滴滴伊的含量仍有所降低，但其他滴滴涕异构体大多已消失。仅在长嘴秧鸡体内检测到狄氏剂，在此期间其残留水平下降。多氯联苯在长嘴秧鸡体内的平均浓度增加，在招潮蟹和泥螺体内保持不变，而在食蚊鱼、米诺鱼、条纹鳉鱼和盐沼蜗牛体内则有所下降。在少数样本中检测到少量灭蚁灵、毒杀芬、顺式氯丹（和/或反式九氯）、氧氯丹和六氯苯。
