AB  - Bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in marine fish may pose a 
      health risk to human consumers. Using data from  approximately 8400 individuals of 15 fish 
      species collected in the North-East Atlantic Ocean (NEAO), we assessed 
      concentrations of individual POP congeners, including dioxins, polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). POPs analyses were 
      performed with accredited methods using high-resolution gas 
      chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry, gas chromatography/tandem mass 
      spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) and GC/MS. The results showed that POPs congener 
      composition profiles were more influenced by fish species than by geography. 
      However, due to long range transport from emissions at lower latitudes, lighter 
      congeners made a larger contribution to the total POPs concentrations in the 
      northernmost areas compared to southern regions. A model was developed to 
      elucidate the relative effects of several factors on POPs concentrations and 
      showed that variation among and within fish species was associated with fat 
      content, fish size, trophic position, and latitude. For the first time, POPs 
      concentrations were shown to increase nonlinearly with fat content, reaching an 
      asymptotic plateau when fat content was > 10%. This study explored detailed POP 
      congener profiles and the factors associated with POPs accumulation in 
      commercially relevant fish harvested from the NEAO.
