Bioaccumulation of chlorobiphenyls and endrin from food by lobsters (Homarus americanus)
Journal Article

· Bull. Environ. Contam. Toxicol.; (United States)
The objectives of this paper are to determine the rates of dietary accumulation and clearance of two chlorobiphenyls and endrin in lobsters (Homarus americanus) fed contaminated mussels (Mytilus edulis). The chlorobiphenyls, representing intermediate and high degrees of chlorination, were chosen as model compounds to simulate the accumulation of PCB's. Endrin has been used extensively in eastern Canada and therefore it is of interest to determine its potential for accumulation within the trophic chain.
