Persistent organic pollutant content in cod ( Gadus morhua L.) from the Barents Sea region
Abstract The aim of this study was to examine levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in cod from the Barents Sea. Samples were collected in two regions, the warm waters of the West Spitsbergen Current, where surface temperatures are typically 3.5-6.5°C, and the cold waters of the East Spitsb...
