3936304 Falandysz J: Organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in sprats from the southern Baltic, 1983. Z Lebensm Unters Forsch. 1985 Dec;181(6):482-5.

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-benzenehexachloride (BHC; HCH), p,p'-DDE, o,p'-DDD, o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDT (sigma DDT) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) levels have been determined in muscle tissue of 214 sprats (Sprattus sprattus) netted during 1983 in a different regions in the southern part of the Baltic Sea.
The levels of organochlorine pesticides reported are two to three times higher than those reported for wet muscles of sprats sampled in the same area two years before, whilst for PCB the levels differ slightly.

Organochlorine contaminants in the muscles of sport and market fish were determined to understand the potential risks to humans consuming fish originating in Korea's coastal waters.
Hexachlorocyclohexanes, chlordane-related compounds, and hexachlorobenzene concentrations were relatively low and ranged from 0.64 to 5.6, 0.17 to 4.24, and 0.08 to 1.58, respectively.

3934867 Falandysz J: Organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in flatfish from the southern Baltic, 1983. Z Lebensm Unters Forsch. 1985 Nov;181(5):370-4.

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-benzenehexachloride (BHC; HCH), p,p'-DDE, o,p'-DDD, o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDT (espilon DDT) and polychlorinated biphenlys (PCBs) levels have been determined in muscle tissue of 37 turbots Psetta maxima, 27 plaices Pleuronectes platessa and 106 flounders Platichthys flesus netted during 1983 in a different regions in the southern part of the Baltic Sea.
Generally, the levels of organochlorine pesticides and PCBs in wet muscle tissue of fish followed the increased lipids content of muscles.

3934866 Falandysz J: Organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in cod from the southern Baltic, 1981. Z Lebensm Unters Forsch. 1985 Oct;181(4):316-7.

98 samples of muscle tissue of cod ranging form 51 to 60 cm in total length and netted in 1981 in the southern part of the Baltic Sea were analysed for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT and its metabolites (DDE and DDD), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and isomers of benzenehexachloride (alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-BHC).
Generally residue levels of organochlorine pesticides and PCBs found in the muscles were low, and substantial decrease of sigma DDT and less of PCB levels in recent years when compared with data noted in 1969-1970 and 1972-1974 is noticeable.

With the aid of a combined identification by gas chromatography (before and after a conversion into anisole derivatives) and by thin layer chromatography the presence of pentachlorophenol in the liver, in fat and in muscles after feeding the birds with HCB as well as BHC-isomers has been proved. 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and 2,4-dichlorophenol were found by thin layer chromtography (without derivatisation).

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), heptachlor, and DDTs were measured in the fish muscles.

The birds' pectoral muscles were individually analyzed for their concentrations of organochlorines (OCs) and brominated flame retardants (BFRs), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), hexachlorocyclohexanes, trans-nonachlor, hexachlorobenzene, hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).

The present study determined the accumulation features of persistent organochlorines (OCs) such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and its metabolites (DDTs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and chlordane compounds (CHLs) in wild raccoon dogs (RDs; Nyctereutes procyonoides) collected from Kanagawa prefecture in Japan during 2001.
In livers of RDs, CHLs were remarkably dominant (20 times higher than PCBs) followed by PCBs> DDTs> HCHs> HCB, whereas the chemicals in muscles were in the order of CHLs> PCBs> HCHs> DDTs> HCB.

6435328 Falandysz J: Organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in herring from the southern Baltic, 1981. Z Lebensm Unters Forsch. 1984 Jul;179(1):20-3.

A total of 295 samples of muscle tissue from herring netted in 1981 in the southern part of the Baltic Sea were analysed for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT and analogues (DDE and DDD), hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and isomers of benzenehexachloride (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-BHC).
Herring caught in the area under the direct influence of the Vistula River contained higher levels of sigma DDT in their muscles than those in the other regions investigated.

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-benzenehexachloride (BHC, HCH), p,p'-DDE, o,p'-DDD, o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDT (sigma DDT) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) levels have been determined in muscle tissue of 187 herring (Clupea harengus) netted during 1983 in a different regions in the southern part of the Baltic Sea.
The levels of organochlorine pesticides determined in wet muscles or extractable lipids of herring are nearly 2-3 times as high as those noted in fish sampled in the same area in two years before, whilst for PCBs the wet weight levels were comparable, and when based on a lipid weight are somewhat higher.
