AB  - From 2005 to 2019, three gadoid species, Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), haddock 
      (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) and saithe (Pollachius virens), were sampled 
      approximately every third year in the northeastern part of the North Sea. Liver 
      samples were analyzed to investigate levels and temporal trends of six groups of 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs): polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 
      dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its degradation products, 
      hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), trans-nonachlor (TNC), 
      and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Some of the highest average 
      concentrations were found in cod, the levels otherwise being similar between the 
      three species and mostly below established threshold values. The levels of all 
      the contaminants except HCB and TNC were higher than previously reported for cod 
      and haddock in the Barents Sea. Significantly decreasing levels were found for 
      Sigma7PCBs, SigmaDDTs, SigmaHCHs and Sigma15PBDEs in all three species, and for TNC in haddock 
      and saithe, while there was no significant trend for TNC in cod. HCB levels 
      increased significantly in cod and haddock and showed only a minor decrease in 
      saithe. The observed time trends of legacy POPs demonstrate the persistence of 
      some of the studied pollutants despite efforts to eliminate them from the marine 
      environment.
