Levels of persistent organochlorine pesticides in edible fish from the Adriatic Sea

The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of seven organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in edible fish species (19 different fish species) collected on 17 locations along the Eastern Adriatic coast (Croatia). Although on first sight it seems like OCP concentrations found in fish from the Eastern Adriatic Sea are very high, all the values, except for few individual samples, are in agreement to previously reported values found in this region. This study also confirms that higher contamination levels are undoubtedly connected to areas with increased anthropogenic impact.
