If information was present that made BCF estimation a possibility, one was estimated but with uncertainty. All studies did not measure percent lipid and tissue dry weight was used as the sole normalization metric.

Key:

Exposure regime (SW = saltwater; FW = freshwater; S = static; SR = static renewal; FT = flow through)

Substance above solubility limit (Y = yes; N = no)

Solvent above or below recommended levels (A = above; B = below)

Study duration (Dep = depuration period)

Water source (Nat = natural; R = reconstituted)

Estimation method (SS = experimental steady state; K = kinetic; G = graphical; NA = not applicable; U = unknown)

In the studies summarized in this table, information was lacking that allowed the estimation of a BCF (including integrated exposure estimates of water and food across sufficient time to project the organism was at steady state).

Key:

Exposure regime (SW = saltwater; FW = freshwater)

Solvent above or below recommended levels (A = above; B = below)

Tissue normalization metric (DW = dry weight; WW = wet weight; Lipid = Lipid)

Water source (Nat = natural; R = reconstituted)

Estimation method (SS = experimental steady state; K = kinetic; G = graphical; NA = not applicable; U = unknown)
