Organochlorine (OCs) and butyltin (BTs) residues were determined in mesopelagic myctophid fishes collected from the western North Pacific to elucidate contamination status, accumulation patterns, and distribution. Among OCs, concentrations of PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and DDTs (DDT and its metabolites) were the highest in myctophids (at maximum concentrations of 370 ng/g and 280 ng/g lipid wt, respectively). CHLs (chlordane compounds) or HCHs (hexachlorocyclohexanes) were the next most abundant OCs, and HCB (hexachlorobenzene) was the lowest. The maximum concentration of total butyltin (∑BTs = MBT + DBT + TBT) in fish was 46 ng/g wet wt. Concentrations of PCBs, CHLs, and BTs were significantly lower in oceanic myctophids than those in fishes from Japanese coastal water, Suruga Bay. The residue pattern of OCs and BTs showed a specific trend according to diel vertical migration of myctophids. Relatively high concentrations of PCBs, DDTs, and CHLs were found in nonmigratory species living in deeper wa...
