Popis:	Residues of aliphatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were monitored in some fish species collected from Temsah Lake, near Ismailia, Egypt. Fish were selected to represent different feeding habits and ecological niches in the lake's ecosystem. Fish samples were extracted using organic solvents, and residues of aliphatic and PAHs were separated using column chromatography and detected using gas liquid chromatography. Fish species were Clupea sirm, Mugil sehli, Mugil capito, Morone labrax, and Sciasna sp. Clupea sirm, a surface feeder fish had the highest concentration of aliphatic hydrocarbons, 320 ± 54 ng g−1, while Morone labrax, a predatory fish that live in the water column, had the highest concentration of PAHs, 315.87 ± 46 ng g−1. Even-number aliphatic hydrocarbons were more frequently detected in all fish species in comparison to odd-number aliphatic hydrocarbons, suggesting a petrogenic origin of these compounds. Meanwhile, the pattern of PAHs detected in the present study sugge...
