      masou.

AB  - The levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were analyzed in muscle, liver 
      and gills of masu salmon caught in northern Japan. Liver is known to be a major 
      pool site for POPs but there is not much information regarding accumulation of 
      POPs in gills. The salmon were caught at the end of the feeding migration, and 
      the average gonadosomatic index of masu salmon was 0.51 +/- 0.16. The total 
      amount of POPs (microg) accumulated in each organ was calculated in order to 
      compare the accumulation potential of each organ. Even though the liver comprises 
      only 1.8%-2.32% of the whole body mass it accumulated 16% +/- 8.6% of the total 
      POPs. Similarly, gills comprise only 1.4%-2.1% of the body mass but accumulated 
      9.1% +/- 3.8% of the total POPs. Conversely, muscle comprises 72%-78% of the body 
      mass and it accumulated 75% +/- 12% of the total POPs. These results suggest that 
      the gills, in addition to the liver, are an important site for the pooling of 
      high levels of POPs at the end of the feeding migration.
