Abstract
The study was aimed at the PCB (Clophen A50) accumulation dynamics in the gill filaments, muscle tissue, perintestinal adipose tissue, alimentary tract and the liver of cultured carp, Cyprinus carpio L. when taken, only, either from contaminated water or contaminated diet. The highest accumulation dynamics was observed in first 5-10 days of intoxication followed by a visible decrease resulted partly from increase in a growth rate of the tested organs and tissues as well as from the smaller daily intake per weight unit of the tested fish.
