Bioconcentration Within Food-Web Prey Species
Observed bioconcentration factors (BCF) measured in prey species relevant for aquaculture food-web interactions.
Food Web Interactions
Select an aquaculture-relevant species to explore trophic interactions associated with this chemical. The network contains two types of edges: (i) edges connecting the chemical to prey species, which are annotated with toxicity endpoints or bioconcentration factor (BCF) values depending on the selected filter, and (ii) trophic edges connecting prey to predator species, where the predator represents the aquaculture species. When neither toxicity nor BCF is selected, only the food-web (prey–predator) network is displayed. Hover over nodes and edges to view additional details.
