Bioaccumulation and Effects on Reproduction in Aquatic Organisms: An Assessment of the Current Literature

Abstract

An analysis of results of a literature search conducted to examine the effects on reproduction in aquatic animals is presented in narrative and tabular form. A method is described whereby tissue concentrations can be estimated (using published bioconcentration factors) from data reported in the literature where reproductive effects, but not tissue residue data, were reported. An initial compilation of information is provided for decisionmakers who seek general guidance in interpreting bioaccumulation results, as well as for decisionmakers with site-specific concerns. Keywords: Biological assay; Water--Pollution; and Ecology.
