Plot of the mean partitioning status of beta HCH, HCB, PCB 118, PCB 153 and DDE for water (A) and SPM (B) against the body length of eel, ide, perch, chub, pike and asp sampled in 2020. A log-linear model is plotted as an equation in each panel and as a black line, along with the grey band illustrating the 95% confidence interval. The dotted line marks the thermodynamic equilibrium of lipids with the respective environmental medium. Data points for PCB 118 only encompass quantifiable concentrations in fish between 48 and 61 cm in body length.
