abstract: The organochlorine compounds (OCs) contamination was studied in different tissues of the adult Black Sea turbot (BST) from natural spawning populations of 2008, 2009 and 2013 in the South-Western shelf off Crimea, the Black Sea. Total lipids, six congeners of polychlorinated biphenyl (CB 28, 52, 101, 138, 153, 180) and organochlorine pesticide p,p'-DDT including its metabolites p,p'-DDE and p,p'-DDD were measured in liver, red and white muscles and gonads of males and females of BST.
