n-3/n-6 fatty acid ratio 3 2 2 1 1 Haddock at had higher levels of (n-6) PUFA in all thissue, But also in the stomach content. This indicate that the differens in lipid composition between and are driving by different in diet or differents in the lipid composition of the benthos organism
Conclusions (I) The results of the lipids analysis in 211 compared with earlier monitorings show large natural variation from year to year. We need better understanding of the natural regulation of the lipid homeostasis in wild fish and more experimental studies of how discharges from oil and gas activities effect the lipid metabolism, before we can conclude whether difference in lipid composition between and other areas as reported in 22, 28 and 21, can be correlated to discharges from the oil and gas activities.
Conclusions (II) The results do not indicate that discharges from oil and gas activities affect food safety aspects as No changes in PAH metabolite levels in fish bile between and the Bank. For DNA adduct levels of 6 stations in the North Sea had levels above background levels and two of 6 had levels above environmental assessment criteria (EAC). This included the two reference stations and one of the stations at. The other station at together with the station at Viking the Bank had levels slightly above EAC. This raises concern of general increased DNA adduct levels of haddock in the North Sea.
Conclusions (III) Due to the low differences between at and the two reference stations, the present study does not indicate that cod and haddock caught at are more contaminated with oil related compounds than fish caught at the reference stations ( Bank and Bressay Bank), although the general PAH pressure in the North Sea Bassin needs more attention.
