Toxicokinetics, tissue distribution, and toxic potency of PFOS alternative OBS in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) based on flow-through exposure system by Yilong Zou, Yu Zhou, Xianglian Wang, Guiqing Gao, Gang Chen, Zhanmeng Liu, Mi Deng, Xueping Huang, Yongming Wu

“…Our findings indicate that OBS accumulated rapidly in zebrafish, with log kinetic bioconcentration factor (logBCFk) values ranging from 2.48 to 2.70 and slow elimination rates (ke = 0.0490–0.0643 d−1). The blood, liver, and muscle were responsible for over 50 % of the total body burden of OBS, with tissue concentrations decreasing in the following order: blood > liver > intestine > gills > gonad > brain > muscle, suggesting a tissue-specific accumulation pattern. …”

Copper and Temperature Interactions Induce Differential Physiological and Metal Exclusion Responses in the Model Brown Macroalga <i>Ectocarpus</i> by Alex Santillán-Sarmiento, Paula S. M. Celis-Plá, A. John Moody, Claudio A. Saez, Murray T. Brown

“…In this study, we exposed the model brown seaweed <i>Ectocarpus</i> to different Cu concentrations (0, 0.8, 1.6, and 3.2 μM) at two different temperatures (15 and 25 °C). Relative growth rates decreased at 25 °C for the two highest Cu concentrations after 8 days of exposure, but a contrasting pattern was observed in the photosynthetic maximum quantum yield (<i>F_v</i>/<i>F_m</i>) and photosynthetic efficiency (<i>α</i>), where reductions were observed at 15 °C for the same Cu concentrations. …”
