In 1995, for the first time, monitoring of xenobiotics presence in fish and wild animal organisms was carried out in the selected areas of different Slovak regions. Partial system MSK focuses on the monitoring of contaminants and their penetration into organisms of wild animals and fish, as fish serve as a natural water quality bioindicator and form a part of human diet. Excessive values of risk elements were recorded in Košice region (Košice – surrounding area, Trebišov, Spišská Nová Ves) and Prešov region (Bardejov and Humenné). Most frequently recorded excessive values were those of cadmium, mercury, lead and copper.
