Mulletts, Mugil cephalus were exposed to artificial sea water containing $50{mu}g/iota;of;^{14}C-la-belled$ di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate(DEHP) during 15 days and returned to the DEHP free sea water in order to know bioconcentration and depuration of DEHP in the fish. Bioaccumulative process of DEHP in the fish was rather fast, and bioconcentration level of $9.7~14{mu}g/g$ and a bioconcentration factor of $220~270$ were reached after one any of exposure. The biological half-life of DEHP in fish was 1.8 days. Five intermediate metabolites of DEHP were detected in the benzene and ethyl acetate fraction of fish by TLC.
