AB  - The levels and profiles of organochlorine (OC) contaminants, including 
      polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs), 
      hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) and penta- (PeCB) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB), as 
      well as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were determined in muscle samples 
      of the deep-sea fish Alepocephalus rostratus, Coelorinchus mediterraneus and 
      Lepidion lepidion and the red-shrimp Aristeus antennatus from the NW 
      Mediterranean Sea. Mean PCB and DDT levels ranged from the highest concentrations 
      in the fish A. rostratus (Sigma(7)PCBs 6.93+/-0.71 ng/g w.w. and SigmaDDTs 8.43+/-1.10 ng/g 
      w.w.) to the lowest concentrations in the crustacean A. antennatus (Sigma(7)PCBs 
      1.17+/-0.24 ng/g w.w. and SigmaDDTs 2.53+/-0.26 ng/g w.w.). The concentrations of SigmaHCHs 
      and HCB were more than one order of magnitude lower, ranging from 0.07-0.36 ng/g 
      w.w. and 0.03-0.15 ng/g w.w., respectively, while PeCB was only detected in a few 
      samples. PBDE levels were approximately ten times lower than PCB and DDT 
      concentrations, ranging from 0.47+/-0.20 ng/g w.w. in A. antennatus to 0.92+/-0.13 
      ng/g w.w. in A. rostratus. The high-molecular-weight PCBs 153, 138 and 180 
      represented 69-79% of Sigma(7)PCBs in fish and 60% in the red shrimp. Moreover, in 
      fish, the main DDT compound detected was the metabolite p,p'-DDE (70-80% of 
      SigmaDDTs), indicative of old DDT residues. In contrast, o,p'-DDE was the main DDT 
      metabolite (49% of SigmaDDTs) in shrimp, while the parent compound p,p'-DDT and its 
      metabolite p,p'-DDE exhibited similar proportions of 16% and 21%, respectively. 
      For PBDEs, the most abundant congeners were BDEs 28, 47, 99, 100 and 154 in fish 
      (>70% Sigma(14)PBDEs), while BDEs 153 and 209 were also important in A. antennatus, 
      suggesting different uptake and/or biotransformation rates of PBDEs between fish 
      and crustacea. In this sense, the ratios BDE 99/100, BDE 153/154, and BDE 47/99 
      were determined as proxies for BDE metabolization capacities and contrasted among 
      species.
