First-order bioconcentration kinetic model parameters for SIL accumulation in P. mesopotamicus.
| Uptake phase | Depuration phase | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| k1 | k2u | Ctmax | BCFm | tlag | r 2 | k2d | t1/2 | r 2 |
| 7.3 | 0.0836 | 1,423 | 88 | 3.8 | 1.0 | 0.31 | 2.3 | 0.92 |
k1: uptake rate constant (L/kg d), k2u: depuration rate constant of uptake phase (d−1), Ct max: maximum concentration in whole body estimated by the model (µg/kg), BCFm: bioconcentration factor estimated by the kinetic model (L/kg), tlag: latency time (d), k2d: depuration rate constant of depuration phase (d−1), t1/2: half-life (d), r 2: correlation coefficient.
