AB  - Fifty-eight European eel (Anquilla anquilla) specimens collected from five 
      Latvian lakes were investigated for six groups of persistent organic pollutants 
      (POPs), including polychlorinated, polybrominated and mixed bromo-chloro 
      dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/DFs, PBDD/DFs and PXDD/DFs), 
      polychlorinated and mixed bromo-chloro biphenyls (PCBs and PXBs) and 
      polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). PCDD/DFs and PCBs were found to occur in 
      the range 0.85-15.8 pg Total-WHO2005-TEQ g(-1) f.w., and concentrations in most 
      of the samples were below the maximum levels specified in European Commission 
      Regulation (EU) No. 1259/2011. The summed concentrations of 27 PBDEs ( summation operatorPBDE) and 
      16 non-dioxin-like PCBs ( summation operatorNDL-PCB) were in the ranges of 0.28-26.7 and 6.37-320 
      ng g(-1) f.w., respectively. PBDD/DFs, PXDD/DFs and PXBs show average upper-bound 
      concentrations of 0.05, 0.06 and 0.01 pg TEQ f.w. and collectively contributed 
      3.4% to the sum TEQ of dioxin-like compounds. The highest contaminant 
      concentrations were measured in samples from lakes near the Baltic Sea and the 
      industrialised area near Riga (Liepajas and Kisezers lakes). A correlation of POP 
      concentration with the length of collected specimens was observed.
