- Blue crab mortalities were observed in a DDT-contaminated salt marsh in Florida during November and December 1973 and were correlated with reduced daily temperature minima. - Analysis found total DDT residue concentrations as high as 39.0 ppm in dead and dying crabs. - It is suggested that the interaction between DDT body burdens in crabs and reduced temperatures produced acutely toxic effects.
