Comparison of the level of organic contaminants in bile and muscle of Mugil spp. following a major oil spill in the eastern Mediterranean Sea

The total polyaromatic hydrocarbons (TPAH) and the total polychlorinated biphenyls (TPCB) that originate from oil spills in sea and ocean waters are toxic to fish and their offspring.
