Abstract
In this study we investigated the current contamination status and accumulation features of POPs in Korean offshore waters using Japanese common squid as a biomonitoring organism Concentrations of organochlorine compounds OCs such as polychlorinated biphenyls PCBs dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane and its metabolites DDTs chlordane compounds CHLs and hexachlorocyclohexanes HCHs were determined in different organs of squid of both sexes and of various sizes caught in the offshore waters of southeast Korea in July and October 2005 Most of the compounds showed their highest concentrations in liver among the organs analyzed The concentrations of PCBs DDTs CHLs and HCHs in liver were in the ranges of 116–206 ng/g mean 146 158–325 ng/g 238 206–373 ng/g 282 and 168–123 ng/g 779 on a dry weight basis respectively There was no relationship between squid size and OC concentrations while the levels of all of the compounds were significantly correlated with lipid content Due to its relatively high lipid content the concentration of OCs in squid liver was higher than other organs of the squid Therefore OCs in female squid may be redistributed from the liver to the gonad These results showed that male squid liver is a useful organ for monitoring OCs in Korean offshore waters regardless of its size
