This contaminant poses a toxic threat to aquatic organisms in acute exposures, directly impacting the central nervous system. Chronic exposures produce a variety of sublethal effects as well, most notably related to altered blood chemistry and enzymatic Nevertheless, many questions remain unanswered activity. regarding the behavior and sublethal effects of chlordane many aquatic organisms .
