The aim of this work was to examine the content of chlorinated pesticides and toxic elements in some imported marine fish species, as an indication of the degree of exposure. The content of chlorinated pesticides and toxic elements was determined in eight species of imported marine fish that are most often consumed in Yugoslavia. Chlorinated pesticides were determined in 192 and toxic elements in 153 fish samples. Of all chlorinated pesticides, lindane residues were detected in the largest number of examinated samples (65.62%) and in the highest quantities (mean value 2.62 mg/kg fat). Total DDT was detected in 52.08% of the fish samples, with the highest mean value of 0.58 mg/kg of fat. The residues of other chlorinated pesticides detected in the examined fish samples were negligible. The results obtained indicate that the toxic elements content of the examined marine fish samples does not present a potential health risk for consumers because levels were well below allowable limits.
