AB  - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDTs 
      and endosulfan residues were analyzed in muscle, liver, gonads, gills and stomach 
      content of brown trout (Salmo trutta) from the Andean Patagonia. PBDEs, PCBs and 
      DDTs levels were positively correlated with lipid content, while less hydrophobic 
      endosulfans showed a poor correlation. Endosulfan levels were about 99.9% of 
      total contaminant (highest levels in liver 500x10(3)ng g(-1) lipid weight), with 
      alpha-/beta-isomers ratio >1 in all organs. These results are in agreement to the 
      current-use of the technical endosulfan and also suggest acute exposure to this 
      insecticide. Conversely, DDT/DDE ratio reflects fish exposure to old DDT sources, 
      showing a DDE predominance. Gills had the highest levels of DDTs, PCBs and PBDEs, 
      indicating they represent the main uptake pathway for such hydrophobic compounds 
      from water column. PCBs showed the lowest levels in all organs and the PBDEs/PCBs 
      ratios >1 agree with worldwide trends. PBDEs levels in gonads, gills, liver and 
      muscle exceeded 80 ng g(-1) (lipid weight) and were higher than other values 
      reported in the Southern Hemisphere. BDE-47 was the predominant congener, 
      suggesting higher bioaccumulation potential and possible brown trout metabolism 
      of higher congeners. Since there is no point source of PBDEs in the region and 
      residues were dominated by lower brominated congeners, atmospheric transport 
      could be the main source of these compounds. This first report of PBDEs levels in 
      fish from Argentina contributes to the knowledge about environmental trends of 
      these persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in remote areas such as the Andean 
      Patagonia.
