AB  - In this study we investigated the distribution of 7 organochlorine pesticides 
      (OCPs) and 17 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) congeners in the edible tissue of 
      the blue mussels (Mytilusgalloprovincialis) collected at 15 shellfish breeding 
      farms and 1 harvesting area along the Croatian Adriatic coast. All analyzed OCPs 
      were found in all samples (0.011-1.47 ng g(-)(1) w.wt.). Concentrations of PCB 
      congeners in positive samples ranged between 0.007 and 7.66 ng g(-)(1) w.wt. The 
      most abundant compounds were gamma-HCH, PCB-138 and PCB-153. Overall levels of PCBs 
      and OCPs were in the lower end of the concentration ranges reported in 
      literature. Significant differences of all contaminants were recorded between 
      seasons, with higher values in the warmer part of the year. Results of the 
      evaluation of the risks to human health associated with consumption of the 
      mussels containing organic contaminants suggest that the levels of these 
      compounds in mussels do not pose any threat for consumers of cultivated mussels.
