    Notes: Abstract During a North Sea survey in late spring 1986, zooplankton biomass (g dry weight/m2) as well as pollutant concentrations in zooplankton (ng/g dry weight) were determined at 127 stations. On the basis of these data, the load of several cyclic organochlorines in zooplankton (ng/m2) was estimated. It appeared that the highest loads of these pollutants were incorporated in the large zooplankton stocks of the northern and central North Sea, north of 56°N, whereas the highest concentrations were found in zooplankton of the southern North Sea. An explanation for the accumulation of pollutants in sediments as well as in benthos organisms of the central and northern North Sea as found by several authors is discussed in connection with the assumption of a considerably high vertical flux of organic material in these areas. The calculation of total zooplankton content in the North Sea during the late spring survey amounted to about 5 million tons dry weight. This biomass was estimated to contain about 2.6 t PCBs, 19.3 kg p,p′-DDE, 12 kg τ-HCH, 6.4 kg HCB und 5.6 kg α-HCH. These results agree with those on other compartments of the North Sea ecosystem (benthos, fish) found in recent literature. The estimated annual turnover of PCBs in zooplankton (15.2 t) is of the same order of magnitude as the estimated amount transported yearly into the North Sea by rivers and the atmosphere (6–13 t).

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird über die Belastung von 101 flächendeckend beprobten Nordseesedimenten mit polychlorierten Biphenylen (24 Einzelisomere), p, p′-DDE, HCB, α-HCH und Lindan (γ-HCH) berichtet. Die PCB-Muster der im Frühsommer 1986 gezogenen Proben unterscheiden sich hinsichtlich Gebiete mit Nettosedimentation und der zentralen Nordsee: in den Mustern der Sedimente des Kattegats, des Skagerraks, der Norwegischen Rinne und der inneren Deutschen Bucht sind hochchlorierte Isomere, in der zentralen Nordsee niederchlorierte Isomere dominant. Geographische Trends in der Schadstoffbelastung werden auf der Basis des Trockengewichts, sowie normiert auf den Gehalt des Sediments an organischer Substanz aufgezeigt. Sedimente der Norwegischen Küste und der inneren Deutschen Bucht sind hoch mit PCBs, p, p′-DDE und HCB belastet. Die Ems emittiert HCB, die Ostsee p, p′-DDE in die Nordsee; Lindan und α-HCH zeigen keine ausgeprägten Gradienten.
    Abstract: Résumé La contamination des sédiments de la mer du Nord avec du PCB — (somme de 24 composants différents), p, p′-DDE, HCB, α-HCH et Lindane (γ-HCH) fut déterminée dans 101 échantillons pris au début de l'été 1986. Les types de composants individuels de PCB dans les sédiments sont différents selon qu'ils proviennent de zones de déblais ou de stations offshore. Les prélèvements en provenance de Kattegat/Skagerrak/Norvegian Channel comme ceux de la baie intérieure allemande accusent des montants plus élevés de composants hautement chlorés que les prélèvements provenant du centre de la mer du Nord. Les différences géographiques dans la contamination organochlorée ont été démontrées sur la base de sédiments secs et du volume total de la matière organique. Les concentrations de ΣPCB, p, p′-DDE et HCB reflètent les zones de dépôts récents de matière suspendue dans la mer du Nord. L'estuaire Ems-Dollard est une source de pollution HCB pour la région sud de la mer du Nord; le p, p′-DDE associé aux matières suspendues en provenance de la mer Baltique s'accumule probablement dans le Kattegat/Skagerrak/Norvegian channel. Les concentrations de Lindane et de α-HCH n'ont pas montré de variation significative dans la zone étudiée.
    Notes: Summary The contamination of North Sea sediments with PCB (as the sum of concentrations of 24 individual components), p, p′-DDE, HCB, α-HCH and Lindane (γ-HCH) was determined in 101 samples taken in early summer 1986. The patterns of individual PCB congeners in the sediments differ between depositional areas and offshore stations: samples from the Kattegat/Skagerrak/Norwegian channel as well as the inner German Bight show higher amounts of highly chlorinated congeners than samples from the central North Sea. The geographical differences in organochlorine contamination were demonstrated on the basis of dry sediments and the content of total organic matter. Concentrations of ΣPCB, p, p′-DDE and HCB reflect the areas of recent deposition of suspended matter in the North Sea. The Ems-Dollard estuary is a source of HCB pollution to the southern North Sea, p, p′-DDE associated to suspended matter from the Baltic Sea presumably accumulates in the Kattegat/Skagerrak/Norwegian channel. Concentrations of Lindane and α-HCH showed only slight gradients or even none in the area investigated.
