AB  - To tackle the ever-present global concern regarding human exposure to persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs) via food products, this study strived to indicate 
      associations between organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (PCBs) in lake-fish tissue depending on the species and sampling 
      season. Apart from the monitoring initiatives recommended in the Global 
      Monitoring Plan for POPs, the study discussed 7 OCPs and 18 PCB congeners 
      determined in three Cyprinidae species (rudd, carp, and Prussian carp) from 
      Vransko Lake (Croatia), which are widely domesticated and reared as food fish 
      across Europe and Asia. We exploit advanced classification algorithms, the 
      Kohonen self-organizing maps (SOM) and Decision Trees (DT), to search for POP 
      patterns typical for the investigated species. As indicated by SOM, some of the 
      dioxin-like and non-dioxin-like PCBs (PCB-28, PCB-74, PCB-52, PCB-101, PCB-105, 
      PCB-114, PCB-118, PCB-156 and PCB-157), alpha-HCH and beta-HCH caused dissimilarities 
      among fish species, but regardless of their weight and length. To support these 
      suggestions, DT analysis sequenced the fish species and seasons based on the 
      concentration of heavier congeners. The presented assumptions indicated that the 
      supplemental application of SOM and DT offers advantageous features over the 
      usually rough interpretation of POPs pattern and over the single use of the 
      methods.
