The partitioning of [sup 14]C-labelled 2,2[prime],4,4[prime]-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCB) between fish lipids and water was studied in a continuous flow system. Fish lipids with high phospholipid content (>20% by weight) accumulated significantly less TCB than did fish lipids with low phospholipid content (<10% by weight). The hypothesis in the investigation is based on the fact that the main components in fish lipids--phospholipids, free fatty acids, mono-, di-, and triglycerides--vary in lipophilicity and other molecular characteristics. The results suggest that the bioconcentration factor of a hydrophobic compound is species specific depending on lipid composition.
