Microcosms containing DDT spiked-sediment,  Tubifex tubifex  and carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) were constructed to simulate a freshwater system. The accumulation, elimination and toxic effects of DDT (p,p’-DDT, o,p’-DDT), and its metabolites DDD (p,p’-DDD, o,p’-DDD) and DDE (p,p’-DDE, o,p’-DDE) were studied in  T. tubifex  and carp. Tissue/organ distributions of DDTs were also investigated in carp. The bioaccumulation and elimination of DDT differed in  T. tubifex , carp and its tissues/organs. Unimodal or bimodal distributions were observed, and the concentrations of DDT metabolites (DDD and p,p’-DDE) increased over time. The carp organ with the highest concentrations of DDTs (DDT, DDD and DDE) was the gill. The largest mass distribution of DDTs was also in gill, followed by muscle and gastrointestinal tract. Maximum levels of DDTs in whole carp and carp muscle were 161 and 87 ng/g, respectively; therefore, the levels of DDTs observed in carp in this study were insufficient to constitute a health concern if present in fish for human consumption. Significant changes were observed in some biomarkers, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione, and carboxylesterase, in  T. tubifex  and carp tissues during DDT exposure. Tissue-specific accumulation of DDTs in carp can be a key indicator of exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations.
