Pristine Alpian fresh water lakes with no run off were selected to monitor the atmospheric fall-out of C6--C12 -organochlorine compounds. Off-shore marine areas were taken for monitoring the average marine pollution by these compounds. In both cases fishes have been used as bioextractors. The analytical work-up combines solvent-partition, liquid chromatography and glass capillary gas chromatography with the electron capture detector. The idenfification is done by matching high-resilution retention indices of unknowns with those of reference compounds. The following compounds could be identified in the spawn of arctic chars (Salvelinus alpinus) caught in off-road Alpian lakes as well as in the liver of predatory antarctic cod (Dissostichus eleginoides) caught near South Georgia, as well as in Peru fish oil and crude sperm oil: hexachlorobenzene alpha-, beta-, gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane; 4,4'-DDT; 4,4'-DDE; 4,4'-DDD; 2,4'-DDE; 2,4'-DDD; heptachloroepoxide; polychlorobiphenyls (PCB) and polychlorocamphenes. Concentrations are given in nanogram/gram total lipid extract (ppb). First value Salvelinus (Alps), second value Dissostich (Antarctic Ocean), alpha-HCH: 40/0,1; beta-HCH: 4,1/0,1; gamma-HCH: 17,2/0,1; HCB: 65/8; 4,4'-DDT: 59/4; 4,4'-DDE: 477/5; sigma DDT 646/11,4; sigma PCB: 1030/32; sigma PCC: 124/68.
