It is the objective of this research to examine the interaction of chemical and biological variables that influence the uptake and accumulation of a model contaminant, BaP, by the fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas. Specifically, we examine effects of the organic carbon content (OC) of the sediment on partitioning of BaP into the water and on the rate of ingestion of contaminated sediment, the effect of bioturbation of sediment by fish on the aqueous concentration of BaP in the water column, and the apparent increase in the rate of elimination of BaP in fish receiving higher levels of exposure to BaP from sediment and water.
