AB  - Fish are often used as good bioindicators to monitor the occurrence of persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs) on different scales in recent years. Forty-five golden 
      threads (Nemipterus virgatus) were collected from six sampling sites in the 
      northern South China Sea (SCS) to investigate the geographical distribution of 
      polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 
      dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and its metabolites (DDTs). Concentrations of 
      PBDEs, PCBs, and DDTs ranged from 1.3-36.0, 2.3-76.5, 8.3-228 ng/g lipid weight, 
      respectively. The highest PBDEs and DDTs concentrations were found in golden 
      threads from Shantou, owing to the intensive electronic waste recycling 
      activities and rapid development of agriculture. Samples from Haikou had the 
      highest levels of PCBs, probably due to the existence of many shipbuilding yards 
      in the past years. The concentrations of PBDEs and PCBs were found in a 
      decreasing trend from east to west and from north to south, while DDTs 
      concentrations had no obvious trend in the distribution. PCBs were the most 
      prevalent contaminants in Xiamen and Yangjiang, while DDTs were the dominant 
      compounds at the other four sampling sites. Different profiles of POPs at each 
      sampling site may attribute to different pollution sources in the northern SCS. 
      Ratios of (DDD + DDE)/DDTs in golden threads suggested the probability of fresh 
      input of DDT in the northern SCS. The estimated daily intakes of PBDEs, PCBs and 
      DDTs were 0.030-0.069, 0.167-0.258 and 0.105-1.88 ng/kg/day, respectively, which 
      were significantly lower than the acceptable daily intake, suggesting that 
      consumption of golden threads from the northern SCS would not subject the 
      residents in the coastal areas of SCS to significant health risk.
