Abstract
An analytical procedure is described for determining residues of rotenone in fish muscle, fish offal, crayfish, freshwater mussels, and bottom sediments. Tissue samples were extracted with ethyl ether and extracts were cleaned up by gel permeation chromatography and silica gel chromatography. Sediment samples were extracted with methanol, acidified, partitioned into hexane, and cleaned up on a silica gel column. Rotenone residues were quantitated by liquid chromatography, using ultraviolet (295 nm) detection. Recoveries from sediment samples fortified with rotenone at 0.3 μg/g were 80.8%, whereas recoveries from tissue samples fortified with 0.1 μg/g ranged from 87.7 to 96.8%. Samples fortified with 0.3 μg/g and stored at - 10°C for 6 months before analysis had recoveries ranging from 83.2 to 90.5%. Limits of detection were 0.025 μg/g for sediments and 0.005 μg/g for tissue samples.
