Different organochlorine contaminant profiles in groups of flounders (Platichthys flesus) from sampling locations around Denmark

Abstract: Flounders (Platichthys flesus) from the waters around Denmark were analysed for their organochlorine (OC) profile to study whether fish from the same genetic population could be separated into characteristic subpopulations, based on their feeding grounds. The chemical analysis of fish liver provided a data set of 16 OC compounds in 94 samples from 2004 to 2006. Except for hexachlorocyclohexane, OC compounds were intercorrelated, indicating similar environmental fate and bioaccumulation. OC profiles are less af… Show more

“…As shown in other studies, levels of organohalogen compounds including PBDE in a given marine fish species can vary greatly throughout the year due to feeding and spawning cycles (Frantzen et al, 2011). Moreover biological end ecological factors, such as fish species, gender, size, and feeding habitat influence the PBDE bioaccumulation (Bragigand et al, 2006;Isosaari et al, 2006;Vorkamp et al, 2012).…”

“…Thus, the differences in muscle levels and profiles can be attributed to site-specific factors such as concentrations and profiles in the diet and sediment. Feedingbased differences in contaminant profiles were demonstrated for organochlorines in flounder from Danish waters (Vorkamp et al, 2012). PBDE levels reported in flatfish from other European areas can vary markedly.…”
