Abstract: Abstract Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are compounds with resistance to degradation, which consequently lead to their accumulation in the environment and biota. They are ubiquitous in different environmental media and, in some cases, may threaten aquatic organisms. Metabolomics focuses on the profiling of small molecular metabolites in various biological samples, thus can be used to reveal the toxicological mechanism of POPs and to serve as molecular biomarkers. However, there is only little information regarding nontarget organisms in r...
