AB  - Marine fish from the North East Atlantic Ocean (NEAO) are nutrient rich and 
      considered a valuable economic resource. However, marine fish are also a major 
      dietary source of several contaminants, including persistent organic pollutants 
      (POPs) and heavy metals. Using one of the world's largest seafood datasets 
      (n > 25,000 individuals), comprising 12 commercially important fish species 
      collected during 2006-2019 in the NEAO, we assessed the co-occurrence of elements 
      and POPs, and evaluated potential risks to human consumers. Several positive 
      correlations between concentrations of mercury (Hg), dioxins, polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were observed. 
      Concentrations of Hg, dioxins, PCBs and PBDEs increased from North to South and 
      associations between marine sediment contamination, sea temperature, and fish Hg 
      and POPs concentrations were identified using multi-linear regression (MLR) 
      models. In general, Hg concentrations in fillet and liver of fish were positively 
      associated with increases in both sediment contamination and sea temperature. 
      POPs concentrations in both fillet and liver were positively associated with 
      increases in sediment contamination, and only POPs concentrations in the liver of 
      benthopelagic and demersal species were found to be positively correlated with 
      sea temperature. Using a probabilistic approach to estimate human contaminant 
      exposure from seafood, we showed that intake of pelagic species posed the highest 
      risk of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs (DL-PCBs) exposure, while intake of 
      benthopelagic and demersal species posed the highest risk of Hg exposure. This 
      study can serve as a model to further understand the distribution, co-occurrence, 
      and trends of contaminants in seafood harvested from the NEAO and their potential 
      risks to human consumers.
