Baihua Lake, a man-made reservoir located in a typical plateau karstic area, is one of the five drinking water sources for Guiyang city. In the present research, the organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in the muscle tissues of six fish species collected from Baihua Lake were estimated by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) . The total concentration of OCPs ranged from 2.83 to 94.25 ng g-1 (dry weight), and that of PCBs ranged from ND to 4.78 ng g-1. p,p’-DDD, p,p’-DDE, γ-HCH and PCB28 were detected in the majority of the samples. However the biomagnifications of OCPs and PCBs were not significant in the selected fish from the lake.

Long term pollution of selected aquatic resources of Vojvodina with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) and organochlorine pesticides (OCP's) has led to high degree of bioaccumulation of the above chemicals along the food chain. This paper documents the bioaccumulation in two fish species commonly found in rivers and canals of Vojvodina, common carp (Cyprinus Carpio) and pike (Exos lucinus). Samples offish, sediment and water were collected from the Danube, Sava and Tisa rivers and a fish farm “Ečka” which is supplied with water from the river Tisa and river Begej. All samples were analysed by highly sensitive capillary column GC using EC detectors. Samples were analysedfor aspectrum of compounds and are presented here as total PCB's and OCP's. The results show that the studied compounds are present in water samples at very low concentrations (PCB's in concentrations at or below the limit of detection, OCP's in concentrations below the legally allowable concentrations by Yugoslav norms). The sediment samples contain the studied compounds at significantly higher concentrations but still within the expectable range. Fish tissue contained elevated concentrations, and especially so the tissue of the top predator in the food chain, the Pike, showing that bioaccumulation has occurred. Of special concern are the extremely high concentrations of PCB's in the tissue of fish samples collected from river Sava indicating the still existing effects of pollution by PCB's in the watershed of the river Sava.

Shallow coastal waters of the Volga river is a flooded feeding area for fish juveniles of nonmigratory fish species. There takes place annual downstream migration of fluvial anadromous fish species from spawning grounds of the Volga river to the Northern Caspian Sea. The most important factors determining the number and qualitative characteristics of fry fishes are the level of the Caspian Sea (currently having a tendency to the lowering), hydrological and thermal regimes of the Volga river. Researches were carried out in definite periods of time. In the summer-autumn period of 2012 fry fishes were presented by 19 species (13 of them were commercial species), which belonged to 9 families. The article gives data on all the commercial fish species. In the first decade of July the maximum number of fry fish was registered in the western part of the Volga outfall offshore - in box 247 (19.86 mln specimens/km2), in the eastern part - in box 142 (20.4 mln specimens/km2). The most populous were roach, red-eye, silver bream and bream; size-weight characteristics were better in the areas remoted from the Volga delta. In the third decade of July the quantitative indicators of fry fish on these areas decreased, size-weight characteristics greatly increased. In the second decade of October in the western part of the seaside there were registered increased pre-wintering concentrations of fish juveniles, their qualitative indicators increased, which is evidence to favorable feeding conditions in 2012.
