PAHs analysis of fish whole gall bladders and livers from the Natural Reserve of Camargue by GC/MS

Traces of parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in fish whole gall bladders and livers from the Natural Reserve of Camargue were determined from three different species: eels, goldfishes and catfishes by capillary gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS) after Soxhlet extraction and florisil column cleanup. Results have been successfully correlated with biological fish parameters in order to identify adequate biomarkers of PAHs contamination.
