ABSTRACT
The study of contaminant accumulation and predictive model development expanded in the 1980s to include bioaccumulation from sediments, food chain biomagnification, and carcinogenesis in feral species. Today, determining contaminant bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms is an essential component of assessing risks to piscivorous wildlife. Additionally, current research is evaluating the association between contaminant tissue residues and adverse effects in aquatic organisms.
