Abstrakt:	The article reports on the elimination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from heavily contaminated carp Cyprinus carpio L. in a clean water-depuration study by researchers from Czech Republic. The carps were living in extensively contaminated aquatic environment in Skalice river for the period of three years before being transfered into the unpolluted experimental pond. The composition of PCBs-containing technical mixture Delor 103, the leakage of which polluted this locality, resembled that of Arochlor 1242 with major fraction of tri- and tetrachlorobiphenyls. The researchers noted a very similar pattern of PCBs in sediments, however, the composition of PCBs fraction isolated from fish was rather different.
