AB  - Differences in bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) between 
      fjords characterized by different water masses were investigated by comparing POP 
      concentrations, patterns and bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) in seven species of 
      zooplankton from Liefdefjorden (Arctic water mass) and Kongsfjorden (Atlantic 
      water mass), Svalbard, Norway. No difference in concentrations and patterns of 
      POPs was observed in seawater and POM; however higher concentrations and BAFs for 
      certain POPs were found in species of zooplankton from Kongsfjorden. The same 
      species were sampled in both fjords and the differences in concentrations of POPs 
      and BAFs were most likely due to fjord specific characteristics, such as ice 
      cover and timing of snow/glacier melt. These confounding factors make it 
      difficult to conclude on water mass (Arctic vs. Atlantic) specific differences 
      and further to extrapolate these results to possible climate change effects on 
      accumulation of POPs in zooplankton. The present study suggests that zooplankton 
      do biomagnify POPs, which is important for understanding contaminant uptake and 
      flux in zooplankton, though consciousness regarding the method of evaluation is 
      important.
