Sum of DL‐PCBs expressed in pg WHO2005‐TEQ/g whole weight in eel among different production methods
| Production method of eel | N | Lower bound estimate | Upper bound estimate | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean | Median | P95a | Mean | Median | P95a | ||
| Non‐organic production | 12 | 2.12 | 1.69 | – | 2.12 | 1.69 | – |
| Wild or gathered or hunted | 126 | 9.78 | 8.22 | 22.23 | 9.79 | 8.22 | 22.23 |
| Farmed Domestic or cultivated | 19 | 1.79 | 1.23 | – | 1.79 | 1.23 | – |
| Production method unknown | 119 | 8.92 | 3.67 | 38.12 | 8.92 | 3.69 | 38.12 |
P95: 95th percentile; DL‐PCBs: dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls; TEQ: toxic equivalents.

The 95th percentile estimates obtained with less than 60 observations may not be statistically robust (EFSA, 2011a). Those estimates were not included in this table.
