► Freshwater fish from Campania Region were analyzed as bioindicators of dioxins/PCBs. ► Results of benthic and pelagic species were subject to hybrid cluster analysis. ► Both benthic and pelagic fish may be good indicators of environmental contamination. ► Two exposure macro-areas were identified n...
