For the first time, the content of persistent organic pollutants (DDT, its metabolites DDE and DDD, and six indicator congeners of polychlorinated biphenyls) was determined in several fish species (Alburnoides maculatus, Squalius cephalus, Neogobius fluviatilis) and shrimp (Palaemon adspersus) in three small Crimean rivers: the Alma, Belbek, and Chernaya. It was revealed that hydrobionts accumulated these substances, the composition and concentration levels of which varied significantly in diffe
