“…The level of ∑PAHs in Snakehead (1929 ng g −1 lw) was higher than VOs deployed in WZ, while those in grass carp (525 ng g −1 lw) and black carp (852 ng g − 1 lw) were little lower than VOs from WZ (950 and 1104 ng g −1 lw). PAHs are found easily metabolized to more water soluble hydroxyl-PAHs in animals, thus they are not bioaccumulated in large amounts in fish as it is the case with lipophilic organic pollutants (Ruddock et al, 2003;Verweij et al, 2004;Szlinder-Richert et al, 2014). The pattern of PAHs composition in fish was found obviously different from that in VOs (Fig.…”

“…If take the MDLs as the levels of PCBs in VOs, the levels of PCBs in fish were approximately 3.6 to 7.0 times higher than those in VOs. Verweij et al (2004) indicated that most hydrophobic PCB compounds in fish tissue did not reach a steady state within an approximately 1 month exposure period. Sijm et al (1995) reported equilibration times of 20-100 d for PCB 153 in fathead minnow.…”

“…The use of VO to complement or to replace fish has been proven to meet the goals of many monitoring programs under controlled laboratory conditions (Lu and Wang, 2003). Many studies have been carried out comparing the accumulation of HOCs by VOs with bivalves such as mussels (Prest et al, 1995;Hofelt and Shea, 1997;Baussant et al, 2001;Richardson et al, 2001Richardson et al, , 2005 and caged fish (Gale et al, 1997;Baussant et al, 2001;Verweij et al, 2004;Ke et al, 2007). However, few studies have been conducted to compare the uptake of HOCs by VOs to that by feral fish living in freshwater rivers.…”

Abstract.Concentrations of organochlorine compounds such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT and its metabolites, hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and hexachlorobutadiene (HBDE) were determined in three fish species: goby (Neogobius melanostomus), golden grey mullet (Mugil auratus) and silverside (Atherina boyeri). Samples were collected from the Lake Varna and the Lake Beloslav in 2014. The edible fish tissues were analyzed in order to investigate the presence of pollutants in species from the lakes near Varna City, Bulgaria and compared the results to the levels in other aquatic ecosystems. The fifteen congeners of PCBs, HCB, HCBD, DDT and its two main metabolites DDE and DDD were determined by capillary gas chromatography system with mass spectrometry detection. The OCPs levels in the wild fish were found in the order DDTs > PCBs. The other contaminants HCB and HCBD were not detected or were below the analytical detection limit. Among the pesticides, essentially only the metabolites p, p'-DDE and p, p'-DDD were found.The concentrations of DDTs were determined from 2.66 to 17.97 ng/g wet weight and PCBs concentrations were found from 0.43 to 8.05 ng/g ww (in goby and golden grey mullet, respectively). The sum of the six Indicator PCBs did not exceed the European maximum limit 75 ng/g wet weight. The concentrations of DDTs and PCBs were found lower compared to those in similar fish species from other aquatic ecosystems.

“…Semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) are low-density polyethylene (LDPE) tubes filled with a thin layer of lipidlike substance (triolein) and are shown to be suitable for determining concentrations of in situ bioavailable lipophilic contaminants to which aquatic organisms are exposed (Huckins et al 1990). SPMDs have been successfully used to sample a diverse array of organic contaminants, including PAHs, chlorinated pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) (Hofelt and Shea 1997;Gale et al 1997;Lebo et al 1992;Verweij et al 2004).…”

Abstract. Meiliang Bay is a sublake of Taihu Lake and has been polluted by domestic and industrial effluents. As part of a comprehensive risk assessment project in this region, semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) were applied to evaluate the levels and potential toxic potency of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in lakewater, in combination with chemical analysis and in vitro bioassay using H4IIE rat hepatoma cells. In addition, induction of hepatic ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity, in crucian carp (Carassius auratus), caged in the vicinity of SPMD sampling sites was also used as a biomarker of exposure to PAHs and related chemicals. The caged crucian carp accumulated similar PAH profile patterns (p < 0.001) but at lower levels compared with SPMDs on a wet-weight basis. Total concentrations of PAHs in crucian carp muscle tissues ranged from 35.6 to 69.1 ng/g after the 32-day exposure, whereas total PAHs in SPMDs ranged from 716.9 to 1007.8 ng/g. Dialysates from SPMDs exposed to Meiliang Bay water caused marked EROD activity in H4IIE cells. Toxic potency of dialysates expressed as bioassay-derived 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin equivalents (TCDD-EQ) ranged from 3.8 to 6.2 pg TCDD-EQ/g SPMD for 32-day exposure samples. A linear correlation of total amount of PAHs and in vitro TCDD-EQ of SPMD dialysates yielded an R 2 of 0.82. Empirical evidence suggests that aryl hydrocarbon receptor-active PAHs can account for about 42-56% of the potency observed. Significant induction of liver EROD activity was also observed in crucian carp caged alongside SPMDs and there was a good correlation between the results of EROD assays in vivo and in vitro (R 2 = 0.62, p = 0.02). It is, therefore, suggested that the SPMD technique in connection with chemical analysis and specific in vitro bioassays might be a valuable tool to assess the levels and effects of bioavailable hydrophobic pollutants in water.
