Lipid normalised concentrations of PCBs in muscle tissue of Abramis brama (Cbio,lipid in µg kg−1 lipid) plotted over equilibrium concentrations (Clip↔sed in µg kg−1 lipid) for the stations Prossen (km 13), Barby (km 296), Cumlosen (km 470) and Neuenfelde (km 636). The limit of detection (LOD) was 3.3 µg kg−1 wet weight and for Barby PCB 28 and PCB 52 and for Cumlosen PCB 28 were exactly on this LOD. Clip↔sed values are mean values (n = 3) and error bars are standard deviations. For Cumlosen only two replicates are available of which both are presented. Cbio,lipid values are single measurements. Dashed lines represent 1:1 relationship and dotted lines are confidence intervals of the linear regression forced through the origin
