Study aim: "In this paper we investigate the influence of factors such as oceanographic regime, crab size and lipid content, PCDD/F source, and concentration on BSAFs in Dungeness crab. We further employ principal components analysis (PCA) to investigate whether differences in sediment PCDD/F composition have any effect on BSAFs."
