AB  - Three main groups of persistent organic pollutants (POPs); namely organochlorine 
      pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated 
      diphenylethers (PBDEs) were quantified in water and sediment samples, as well as 
      in various invasive and non-invasive samples from waterbirds in the Buyuk 
      Menderes River (BMR). Liver and muscle tissues, blood, and preen gland oil 
      samples of yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) and Euroasian coot (Fulica 
      atra) were collected both from the origin (Isikli Lake) and the estuary (Soke) of 
      the river, blood and preen gland oil samples of grey heron (Ardea cinerea) and 
      pelican (Pelecanus crispus) were collected from the estuary only. In addition, 
      non-hatched eggs from several above species and Mediterranean gull (Larus 
      melanocephalus), in either station were collected. In all samples, POP 
      contamination was measured and the potential usefulness of those invasive and 
      non-invasive sampling for biomonitoring was evaluated. Activities of antioxidant 
      enzymes were measured as potential indicators of POP exposure and of changes in 
      the cellular defence. Venous blood proved to be a promising biomonitor for the 
      concentrations in liver and muscle, especially for PCBs. Activities of 
      antioxidant enzymes were correlated with the liver concentrations of several OCP 
      congeners. The measured egg DDE concentrations were below the established 
      threshold concentrations for the risk of hatch and reproductive success.
