Abstract
The concentrations of polychlorobiphenyls (PCB), p,p′-dichloro-diphenyl-dichlorethene (p,p′-DDE) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) were determined in livers and reproductive organs from male and female dabs ( Limanda limanda L.) caught in German Bight during December 1988 and January to May 1989. Livers and reproductive organs exhibited different PCB patterns. Seasonal variations in the organochlorine content and PCB patterns of female dab ovary and liver are influenced by the reproduction cycle of the fish. Maximum PCB levels were found in male dab livers. Ovaries exhibited a greater HCB contamination than the corresponding livers.
