Northern pike (Esox lucius), an esocidae species, is considered one of the most widely distributed freshwater fish [57]. It is a piscivorous species, consisting its diet on common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and roach Rutilus rutilus). Nevertheless, in the absence of prey fish, invertebrate feeding could be important for this species [58, 59]. 

Roach (rutilus rutilus), a medium-sized cyprinid fish, is a planktonic and benthic species, feeding mainly on cladocerans (D. longispina), detritus, plant debris, amphipods (Echinogammarus sp.), filamentous algae, and ostracods. Roach can thrive on poor quality, even polluted water and displays more capacity of adaptation to different kinds of food than rudd [62]. 

There are several species of fish and other aquatic organisms susceptible of being used as pollution sentinels in the Ebro River (Table Species). However, none of them is present in all sites shown in Fig. 1, at least in enough abundance. From Barbastro to Flix (including the Riba-roja dam), barbel and bleak were preferred for chemical and pollution marker analyses whereas carp (Cyprinus carpio), European catfish (Silurus glanis), and roach (Rutilus rutilus) were the main species sampled in... 

Mink (Mustela vison) collected from the Northwest Territories of Canada between 1991 and 1995 had liver mirex concentrations between 0.08 and 0.39 pg/kg FW. These extremely low mirex concentrations were, nevertheless, higher than liver mirex concentrations in prey species (snowshoe hare, Lepus americanus, 0.08 to 0.13 pg/kg FW northern red-backed vole, Clethrionomys rutilus, 0.32 pg/kg FW), suggesting that mirex biomagnification in mammalian wildlife food chains is possible (Poole et al. 1998).
