1

Model parameterized for a 1.1 kg rainbow trout using the urine flow rate (UFR) given by Consoer et al.[129]

2

Adjusted by reducing gill permeability by a factor of 15.

3

Model predictions obtained using median (med), maximum and minimum reported values for equilibrium association constants with albumin (KA).

4

Half-lives as reported by Consoer et al. [129,130]; for model predictions these were calculated based on overall clearance rates.
