AB  - The aim of this study was to compare the contamination levels of certain 
      important fishing grounds in the Czech Republic and to assess the health risk of 
      consuming the fish from these localities. The assessment was performed from 2006 
      to 2010 in 27 fishing grounds. Within this project, 707 fish from 14 different 
      species were sampled. The concentration of selected toxic metals (Hg, Pb, Cd) and 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as non-dioxin-like polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (NDL-PCBs), hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers, 
      dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolites (o,p -DDE; p,p -DDE; 
      o,p -DDD; p,p -DDD; o,p -DDT; p,p -DDT) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB), were 
      analysed in the muscle tissue of the sampled fish. Atomic absorption spectrometry 
      (AAS) was used for the analysis of toxic metals. All of the POPs were analysed 
      using gas chromatography with an electron capture detector (GC/ECD). Common bream 
      (Abramis brama) was chosen as a reference fish species for the comparison of 
      fishing grounds. Mercury was found as a major pollutant in fish flesh at all of 
      the sampling sites. Concentrations in excess of the maximum level (ML) of mercury 
      in the muscle tissue of fish (0.5 mg kg(-1)) were registered in 32 samples. 
      Concentrations of other monitored toxic metals in fish muscle were low, typically 
      below the limit of quantification (LOQ). From the tested POPs, DDTs and NDL-PCBs 
      were found as major pollutants. ML for NDL-PCBs (ICES-6) in muscle tissue of fish 
      (0.125 mg kg(-1)) was exceeded in 7 samples. In case of tested pesticides, 
      concentrations in excess of the MRL were not registered.
