Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides were determined in subcutaneous blubber of 10 Cuvier's beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris), stranded in a beach of Kyparissiakos Gulf (SE Ionian Sea, Hellas) on May 1996. DDTs were always the most abundant compounds with concentrations ranged between 11.2 and 35.1 mu g/g wet wt (mean value 20.9 mu g/g), followed by the PCBs. Total PCBs concentrations (the sum of thirteen congeners) varied between 3.0 and 12.4 mu g/g wet wt (mean value 7.5 mu g/g). Trans-nonachlor, hexachlorobenzene and dieldrin were also detected in lower concentrations.
