Table 2.

Kinetic parameter estimates for MC in yellow perch for each tissue at each exposure dose. k_e is the elimination rate constant (h⁻¹), k_u is the uptake rate constant (g⁻¹·h⁻¹), λ is the loss rate for the dose (h⁻¹), elimination t_0.5 is the half-life in each tissue, elimination t_0.05 is the time for 95% elimination from the tissue (both elimination values calculated based on k_e), exposure t_0.5 is the half-life for exposure in each tissue, exposure t_0.05 is the time for completion of 95% of the exposure (both exposure values calculated based on λ).
