Source: Young DR, AJ Mearns, RW Gossett. 1991. Bioaccumulation of p,p'-dde and PCB 1254 by a flatfish bioindicator from highly contaminated marine sediments of Southern California.

Study aim: "The fugacity model of bioaccumulation states that uptake is determined by the chemical fugacity differential between the organism and its environment. For benthic species this model most conveniently is tested by measuring residue concentrations in tissue (C[t]) and in the sediment (C[s]) to which the organism has been exposed. Here we describe such a test conducted through a field study of surficial sediments and a flatfish used successfully as a bioindicator for chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination in the Southern California Bight."
