AB  - Maps with grey or even white spaces are still present in spite of the fact that 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are at the forefront of research in aquatic 
      toxicology and environmental safety. This is also the case for the Mures River 
      basin. The intensive use of industrial substances such as polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (PCBs) and pesticides such as organochlorine compounds (OCPs) has 
      caused global contamination of the aquatic environment. In our study we have 
      found very high concentrations of both PCBs (2110-169,000 ng/g lipid weight SigmaPCB, 
      1950-166,000 ng/g lipid weight SigmaPCB(7)) and OCPs (1130-7830 ng/g lipid weight 
      SigmaDDT, 47.6-2790 ng/g lipid weight SigmaHCH, 5.53-35.6 ng/g lipid weight SigmaChlordane, 
      and 6.74-158 ng/g lipid weight HCB) in the gonad tissue of Barbus barbus 
      (Linnaeus, 1758) males and females. Contrary to most studies where the weight, 
      length, and lipid percentage are positively correlated with the concentration of 
      POPs from different tissue types, we observed a downward trend for the lipid 
      normalized concentrations of some pollutants in gonads while these indices were 
      actually increasing. The decrease of lipid normalized POPs with the increase of 
      CF and lipid percentage may be due to the fact that individuals are eliminating 
      hard and soft roes every year during reproduction which could mean that some 
      quantities of pollutants are also eliminated along with the hard and soft roes. 
      The high POPs concentrations found in our study should be a needed wakeup call 
      for environmentalists and a starting point in developing monitoring and 
      management measures for these pollutants.
